A component is a reusable and replaceable software module accessed through its interface. Component-based development is expected to shorten the development period, reduce maintenance costs, and improve program reusability and the interoperability of components. This paper proposes a new robot software component platform in order to support the entire process of robot software development. It consists of specifications of a component model, component authoring tool, component composer, and component execution engine. To show its feasibility, this paper presents the analysis results of the component's communication overhead, a comparison with other robotic software platforms, and applications in commercial robots.

The methods or algorithms which can accelerate simulation speed became of great importance, as the modeling and simulation methodology for discrete event systems is used in many areas such as model validation/verification and performance evaluation. This paper proposes a tool named, DEVSIF composer. The tool is made of an automated compiled simulation technology and it builds a new composed model which can be executed much fast by composing the component models together. Models are described by our new specification language DEVSIF, which is compatible with object-oriented language and supports representation of a hierarchical model structure. Experimental results demonstrates that DEVSIF composer enhances the simulation speed of a transformed DEVS model 5 times faster than that of the original ones in average.

This paper describes verification of APR1400 reactor vessel by applying the system engineering approach, in which the design re-engineering method is used to check the design parameters of APR1400 RV (reactor vessel). The RV is classified as safety class 1 and therefore must adhere strictly to the rules of ASME BPVC section III, subsection NB and seismic category I. This study explores designing the RV by following the ASME guidelines and making a comparative study with the current design. To meet this objective we apply system engineering methodologies to structure the process and allow for verification and validation of the major RV design parameters such as thickness of RV. The structural thicknesses of various part of RV are determined as well as reinforcements on the RV major nozzles. A 3D virtual reality model was created based on the design parameters using CATIA V5 and animation using Dassault Composer V2016. A comparison of re-engineered ARP1400 RV and standard APR1400 RV was done to show which design parameters were taken more conservative approach.

The concern of Software Product Line(SPL) engineering is spreading widely because the program or product developers are able to satisfy the customer's demands quickly and give a way to handle maintenance efficiently. SPL is a reuse paradigm that reuse common parts and adopts variable parts optionally to form a differentiated product by analyzing domains. Purposes of this paper are to design an architecture which has a dynamic reconfiguration function and to develop basic components which are the basic unit of reconfiguration to raise the reuse level of the guided weapon system using the SPL. Initially we design an architecture and define basic components for developing a dynamic reconfigurable components based on SPL. Then we develop the composer for physical components and behavior components referenced by behavior models of OneSAF.
