Abstract

The significance of approaches for improvement of systems/products has been increased. In the article, a modular technology challenge system is proposed as a basis for the system improvement process. The combinatorial framework for designing a modular technology challenge system is described: (1) collection of information items (literature sources on technology challenges/key technologies); (2) designing a hierarchy over the set of information items; (3) selection of the sub-hierarchy while taking into account the specified topic(s); (4) composition of a required information item configuration as technology challenge system. The composition stage is based on morphological design. An applied realistic numerical example illustrates the usage of the proposed framework to design a 5G technology challenge system as a set of the selected related optimization actions.
