Function
modeling: Confluence of process modeling and object modeling, in AID
'94 Workshop notes on Representing Function in Design, pp. 39–42
(1994).
Function is a key concept to integrate object modeling and process
modeling in design. In this paper function is defined as a part of FBS
(Function- Behavior-Structure) Diagram, where function is a description of
behavior abstracted through recognition of behavior for utilization. Function
defined above is then used in FEP (Function Evolution Process) to represent
design processes. In FEP, function can be evolved in three ways, i.e.,
decomposition evolution, causal evolution, and patch evolution. We show a FEP
model of design of a weighing scale to illustrate our approach.
