Integrating Producibility and Product Performance Tools Within a Web-Service Environment

Abstract

This paper describes the integration of a producibility and product performance tool in a web service environment. First, we provide a background on web services and a review of product development environments that utilize a service-based architecture. Next, the paper describes the implementation of two services—a process capability database coupled with an aircraft engine fuel nozzle performance model. Discussions close addressing the challenges faced in the current software services development environment.
