This paper outlines an approach for dynamic, multi-scale modeling of manufacturing systems using an Activity Based Cost structure. The purpose of these models is to assess the sustainability of the manufacturing system and aid as a quick, first principle analysis tool for comparing alternatives. The models are constructed using a computer-aided version of the object oriented modeling language SysML. The model, known as the Activity Based Object Oriented Manufacturing Model (or ABOOM Model), is capable of decomposing a system from multiple perspectives, using the same library of activities reducing redundancy and complexity while increasing modularity. The model is built in MagicDraw SysML, using ParaMagic and Mathematica to parse and simulate the model and return numerical results. This paper builds on a project previously presented in its infancy at IDETC/CIE 2009. This paper presents a functional model structure now that the project has matured and nears the next phase of implementation. Executable hypothetical case study instance structures are presented as well as results from a validation experiment performed since the project was first presented. This paper summarizes the results from the case studies as well as the conclusions from the validation experiment.

Mathematical and computational modeling is essential to genetic design automation and for the synthetic biology design-build-test-learn cycle. The construction and analysis of models is enabled by abstraction based on a hierarchy of components, devices, and systems that can be used to compose genetic circuits. These abstract elements must be parameterized from data derived from relevant experiments, and these experiments related to the part composition of the abstract components of the circuits measured. Here we present LOICA (Logical Operators for Integrated Cell Algorithms), a Python package for modeling and characterizing genetic circuits based on a simple object-oriented design abstraction. LOICA uses classes to represent different biological and experimental components, which generate models through their interactions. High-level designs are linked to their part composition via SynBioHub. Furthermore, LOICA communicates with Flapjack, a data management and analysis tool, to link to experimental data, enabling abstracted elements to characterize themselves.

Workflow modeling has received more attention in recent years since the publication of standards by the Workflow Management Coalition in 1995. In this chapter, we give a brief introduction to what workflow is and then discuss how workflow analysis may help facilitate standard analysis methodologies such as traditional analysis and the object-oriented analysis. An example is given to illustrate the usefulness of the workflow modeling as an added system analysis tool.
