Model Based Design of Mechatronic Systems

Design of Mechatronic Systems

Model-Driven Development of Reconfigurable Mechatronic Systems with Mechatronic UML

Today, advanced technical systems are complex, reconfigurable mechatronic systems where most control and reconfiguration functionality is realized in software. A number of requirements have to be satisfied in order to apply the model-driven development approach and the UML for mechatronic systems: The UML design models must support the specification of the required hard real-time event processi...

On Conceptual Design of Intelligent Mechatronic Systems

We have technology now to design networks of small intelligent units capable of competing and/or co-operating with each other on specified tasks and making decisions under conditions of uncertainty through a process of negotiation. In highly dynamic environments, such distributed systems are capable of achieving considerably better results in terms of performance/cost ratio and reliability than...

Model Synchronization for Mechatronic Systems

The development of complex mechatronic systems requires the close collaboration of different disciplines on models of the system under development. During such a model-based development, inconsistencies between the different disciplinespecific models are likely to occur, which could lead to increased development time and costs if they remain unresolved. Model transformation and synchronization ...

A SysML-based methodology for mechatronic systems architectural design

Mechatronic systems are characterized by the synergic interaction between their components from different technological domains. These interactions enable the system to achieve more functionalities than the sum of the functionalities of its components considered independently. Traditional design approaches are no longer adequate and there is a need for new synergic and multidisciplinary design ...
