International Journal of Collaborative Enterprise

Special Issue on: Reverse Engineering

 

Engineering design process includes a set of activities arranged in a
specific order with the clearly identified inputs and outputs. The objective
of this process is to satisfy customer requirements and management
objectives. This process is considered efficient when output of the process
satisfies general customer and defined requirements, meets management
objectives and customer deadlines, and all these with less costs and
resources. This process is based on forward engineering life cycle. Reverse
engineering is the process of disassembly, measurement, analysis and
documentation of all features of components associated with an existing
product. The results of the RE process could be CAD model, strength or
weaknesses of the current design,  new design specifications and other
design related issues in a different level. Reverse engineering has been
used widely in a variety of industries such as electronics, aerospace,
medical and auto. Examples of why RE can be used are:

 

n  Original manufacturer of a product no longer produces the same product

n  Inadequate documentation of the original design 

n  Bad features of a product need to be improved.

n  Competitive benchmarking 

n  The original CAD model is not sufficient to support design, etc.

 

The purpose of this special issue is the publication of research reports and
application descriptions in the advancement of RE methods and technologies
and its impact on the engineering design including manufacturing for the
21st century's customer focused product.
