Management and reuse of mathematical models in the industrial design process

Abstract:
The use of model-based methods to support planning, designing, and
operating chemical processes and plants has recently gained an increased
importance in the daily work of process engineers. The development of
mathematical models through the use of standard flow sheet simulation
tools requires the expertise of an experienced designer. Therefore, the
value of existing models is not limited to the resources required for
their development, but also includes value in the form of knowledge about
an enterprise's products and production processes. The reuse of existing
models and design experiences in order to lower the costs of model
development is therefore economically desirable. This report gives an
overview of the systematic long-term management and use of mathematical
models. Some motivating scenarios are used to derive the requirements for
a model management system and to evaluate existing methods and tools. The
results of these example scenarios are then used to guide the development
of a model management system. After presenting a prototypical
implementation the article concludes with an outlook on the future
importance of model management systems.
