Abstract

We have proposed a Web-based infrastructure for integrating element technologies of life cycle engineering (LCE) including simulation, optimization, and decision-making tools with a product life cycle model. A structural function modeling method named IDEFO is employed for defining the model. We also developed a format to describe the model by using XML that is known suitable for Web-based applications. Moreover, employing distributed object-oriented technologies, we have implemented an information infrastructure that can be deployed on the Web. Finally, a case study regarding a chemical product is provided to illustrate the usage of the system
