Flexible and Scalable Modelling in the MONDO Project: Industrial Case Studies

Today, system designs and their management are crucial parts of most systems development processes. To stay competitive engineers from several expertise domains use Model-Based engineering (MBE) to design the systems they intend to implement in order to specify, test, simulate, validate and iterate their design as soon as possible. System designs are living and evolving artefacts this imply to be able to manage them in an efficient and agile way. The MONDO FP7 EU project aims to comprehensively tackle the challenge of scalability in system design and management by developing the theoretical foundations and an open-source implementation of a platform and will offer to Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) users advanced flexibility in their different modeling approaches. This paper describes three different industrial demonstrators and three different modelling approaches that will be utilised to evaluate the capabilities of the MONDO technologies. For each demonstrator the interests of the industrial user partners are described along with their current and desired improvements in technologies to support MBE in a much more flexible way. Specific evaluation scenarios are specified for each of the targeted industrial domains as well.
