In this research, the concept of CM (configuration management) is introduced for proper applications to the life-cycle product data management. In addition, the activities for CM - CM management and planning, configuration identification, configuration control, configuration status accounting, and configuration verification and audit - are described in detail. For the management of distributed configuration data among governments, prime contractors, and subcontractors, development environments and functions for the configuration management information system (CMIS) are proposed.

Medium size rotorcraft consist of approximately 5,000 key components. The components must satisfy the target weight and performance requirement through optimization. Therefore a rotorcraft component has approximately 100 times higher unit cost for mass production than the equivalent of an automobile's, along with huge development cost. Configuration management consists of four main parts : configuration identification, configuration control, configuration audit, and data management. In development programme, configuration management is one of the methods to save development cost, and setting a well-structured configuration management system according to the Military Standard is an important factor in success of the programme. The paper proposes a configuration management system suitable for development of various multi-use components development and presents that the configuration management was performed successfully during dual-use component development programme using the established system.

In general, weapon system design/configuration data consist of system structure information which is linked to Part information, documents and drawings. For configuration management, version and revision control are necessary and access control of users to information should be managed for information security. Configuration data of weapon systems have various kinds of different meta data which are contained in the structure as well as attributes of parts and documents information. If neutral types of meta data models be used for building configuration management system, they can be applied to many different kinds of weapon systems with a little customization. In this paper, five meta data models are supposed and implementation results of them by using CBD(component based design) methodology are presented.

This paper introduces an integration of Product Data Management (PDM) and Software Configuration Management (SCM). PDM and SCM have supported development of mechanical products and software products respectively. The importance of software components in the current products increases rapidly since the software enables the products to satisfy various customer requirements efficiently. Therefore the current product development needs enhanced product data management that can control both the hardware and software data seamlessly. This paper proposes an extended product data model for integrating SCM into PDM. The extension enables PDM document management to support the version control for software development. It also enables engineers to control both the software and hardware parts as integrated data objects during product configuration and engineering change management. The proposed model is implemented by using a commercial Product Lifecycle Management (PLM) system and a development of a network based robot system is tested by the implemented product development environment.

Configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system should support the concurrent engineering and collaborative activities for various documents, drawings, part informations and structural informations, etc. which are produced through R&D processes for a long time. This thesis attempts to identify major functions in the configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system R&D into services based on a service oriented architecture. In order to identify major services in the configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system R&D, a configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system R&D was proposed with a service oriented architecture with four layers including a service consumer layer, a business service layer, an application service layer and a application layer, and major services were identified for each layer. In order to identify major services in four layers, this thesis adopted a bottom-up approach to identify the necessary business services from a well-defined domain implementation system rather than a top-down identification method in general. This thesis tried to identify the essential services in implementing the configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system R&D as a system based on the service oriented architecture using such a bottom-up service identification method while limiting those services to the general PDM system aspects and the business areas of the configuration and data management system to support processes for the weapon system R&D.

Configuration management plays a key role in systems engineering process for any project from earlier stage of development. It consists of five major activities, ie., configuration management planing, configuration identification, configuration control, configuration status accounting and configuration verification and audit, and is essential to control system design, development and operation throughout entire life cycle of the system development. And it is directly associated with other part of systems engineering management process, ie., technical data management which provides traceability of important decisions and changes during development. In this paper, we describe how to apply CASE(Computer-aided Systems Engineering) tool-Cradle for the configuration management to achieve effectiveness of Technical Management process.

Traditional configuration management involves complex labor-intensive processes performed by experts. The configuration tasks such as installing or reconfiguring a system, provisioning network services and allocating resources typically involve a large number of activities involving multiple network elements. The network elements may be associated with proprietary configuration management instrumentation and may also be spread across heterogeneous network domains thereby increasing the complexity of configuration management. This paper introduces an architecture for the self-configuration of networks (SELFCON). The proposed architecture involves a directory server, which is uses to maintain configuration information. The configuration information stared in the directory server is modeled using the standard DEN specification thereby allowing effective exchange of network, system and configuration management data among heterogeneous management domains. SELFCON associates configuration intelligence with the components of the network, rather than limit it to a centralized management station. The network elements are notified about related changes in configuration policies, based upon which, they perform self-configuration. SELFCON is able to provide automation of configuration management and also an effective unifying framework for enterprise management.

There are many technical datum in related with design, test & evaluation and logistic support which will be exchanged between geographically isolated units and heterogeneous hardwares & softwares in developing and operating the weapon systems. The paper proposes the conceptual database schema to establish configuration management information systems in which these datum can be automatically interchanged, tracked, audited and status-accounted without errors under the various environments. The paper investigates how to identify and classify the data in accordance with document identification, task analysis, system development, logistic support, system test & evaluation and data management. Furthermore, the investigation includes drawing the subject areas and modeling the conceptual database schema to explain the relationships between these datum. Thus, the paper results in the conceptual framework and data models of configuration management information systems, while additional customization efforts be required in applying the models to a specific weapon systems R&D.
