Abstract
While applying the systems engineering (SE) in systems development, a series of technical reviews play a critical role and is intended to monitor the status of the progress and outcomes of the project for which appropriate technical plans prepared earlier should be executed. It is noted however that during the technical review executed as planned, a lot of problems usually come out. Included are the ambiguity in the reports of the progress status and outcomes, discrepancies among the opinions from different participants, and the delay in carrying out the tasks. To solve those problems in an early stage, informal reviews are usually adopted before the formal technical reviews are held. A type of the informal reviews is the peer review. This paper is concerned with the peer review process model to make the later technical reviews more effective. Specifically, we first review the necessity and meaning of the peer reviews. We then study a model for the peer review process. To model the process, the methods of an IDEF modeling and schema definition have been applied using a computer-aided SE tool, Cradle(R), in the environment of the national research and development project. As a result, the implemented process model can show hew the peer review process is designed and managed to be utilized in the technical review. The documents related with the peer review process can also be generated automatically from the developed model Database. Finally, a general misunderstanding about the peer review and its improvement plan have also been mentioned.
일반적으로 프로젝트를 수행하는 과정에서 적절한 기술 계획에 따라 진척도 및 성과에 대한 기술검토를 규칙적으로 실시하게 된다. 그러나 일정 시점에서 수행되는 기술검토를 진행하는 과정에서 불명확한 진척도 및 성과 보고, 의견의 불일치, 시간지연 등 여러 가지 문제가 발생한다. 이러한 문제를 해결하기 위해 규칙적인 기술검토 이전에 동료검토를 진행하게 된다. 본 연구에서는 연구개발을 수행하는 과정에 활용되는 효과적인 동료검토 프로세스를 개발하였으며, 추가적으로 동료검토에 관한 일반적인 오해와 개선방안에 대해 서술하였다.
