Multi-aspect component models: enabling the reuse of engineering analysis models in SysML

ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS First and foremost, I would like to thank my wife, Emily, for having an understanding mindset towards my motivation to achieve a master's degree and for her financial and emotional support. I am also grateful for the insight and guidance of my advisor, Dr. Chris Paredis. Without his perspective, thought-provoking questions and support, I would not have progressed to where I am today. I also thank Dr. Janet Allen and Dr. Farrokh Mistree for their stimulating conversations and motivational support in my journey back to school full-time. I appreciate the support of my parents, Mike and Denise and in-laws, Jim and Silvia. I am grateful to my uncle Don and grandmother Frances for their support as well, and my siblings Rachel, Elizabeth, and Anna. There are some SRL lab-mates that I would like to acknowledge in particular, including Rich Malak, Tommy Johnson, and Nathan Young for their stimulation, insight, and friendship. I also thank my MaRC 266 lab-mates Stephanie, Roxanne and Alek. I am also grateful to the entire SRL family for their critique, support, and friendship. Finally yet importantly, I would like to thank my sponsors for their generous support, including the George W. Woodruff School of Mechanical Engineering. McGinnis and Russell Peak for the discussions that helped to crystallize ideas in this work. Without all of the generous support, project goals, and insight, I would not have same perspective for this work.
