The most critical requirements for the lifetime value of a system are its nonfunctional requirements (NFRs) such as reliability, security, maintainability, changeability, etc. These are collectively known as the “ilities,” and they are typically not addressed in system design until the functional architecture has been completed. In this paper, we propose the use of quality-based design that modifies...
Today's industry increasingly requires flexibility and adaptability in the development of automation control software, especially for automated production systems (aPS) including an automated material flow system (aMFS). To meet these demands, the development of the automation control software and the modification during the operation of the aMFS has to become as easy as possible without taking a...
Automatic localization of services at the time of logical modeling is a difficult task. This is because of the complexity of models and the scattered nature of enterprise architecture information in organizations, systems as well as actors and applications. However, all information about logical services is described in the eLEL and in the aspects of the business architecture of the Praxeme methodology...
The increasing complexity of modern Large-Scale systems and System-of-Systems (SoSs) makes their design and development extremely challenging. To face this difficulty new Modeling and Simulation techniques, methods, and tools are emerging and some of them take advantage of distributed simulation environments. In this context, the IEEE 1516-2010 - High Level Architecture (HLA) is a well-known and accepted...
We focus on dynamic model usability and utility, performed throughout system engineering. The dynamic model is designed in relation to the system use scenarios. We generate then automatically the static models (data model, component model) from the dynamic one. A dynamic functional modeling based method is proposed to generate automatically the static and the dynamic organic architecture of a system...
SysML is a prominent standard serving model-based system design for systems-of-systems (SoS). It facilitates the description of complex system design, as a hierarchy of interacting system components, while at the same time enables the independent description of each component behaviour. However, in order for the system designer to decide whether a SoS architecture is efficient, non-functional properties,...
This documents presents a development methodology which purpose is propose procedures that allows to transform a monolithic system into an architecture based in microservices the document offers a description of each stage and explains it's implementation of the methodology in an open source monolith application. The methodology starts from the analysis of the business model of a monolithic application...
The use of serious games as a mediator to the learning process has risen a lot over the last few years. This article goes beyond, by using the act of building a serious game as a learning construct. It introduces an educational game that helps the user to learn about art, history and architecture. This game was developed using the Challenge Based Learning method (CBL), which has been applied in elementary...
Results of simulation experiments with UAS crews have indicated that the crew had difficulties following rules of engagement and the law of armed conflict when engaging a target with a weapon. Defence Research & Development Canada is developing an intelligent adaptive interface, called the Authority Pathway for Weapon Engagement (APWE), which is a decision aid to support UAS crews in following...
The connectivity of industrial automation domain systems has been enhanced by the employment of information and communication technologies. This permits the implementation of systems that are aligned with the vision of the fourth industrial revolution, or Industry 4.0. In this scope, Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS), i.e., integration of cyber and physical systems, enables the control and monitoring of...
Apply Integrated Logistics Support (ILS) to weapon equipment can efficiently improve equipment's automation and digital level. ILS needs support of various integrated support systems, which have demands for data editing. Nowadays, most of data editing software used in these systems are customized and provide a form-based editing approach, which becomes an obstacle to carry out ILS. This paper brings...
System specifications can be modeled using various types of notations and diagrams regarding applications of the particular model. In this paper, we present an overview of the existing solutions, focusing on UML, BPMN and DMN models and the diagrams provided by these notations. We perform a comparison of these approaches and provide examples of representing system requirements in these notations.
This paper presents a new approach for identifying unknown and/or unwanted states within a system of systems (SoS) architecture using a graphical representation of the event-based modeling language, Monterey Phoenix. The paper demonstrates how the graphical modeling tool can create a single model that contains a mix of human, system, and environmental events, all of which contain event attributes...
Cloud based technology heavily changed the way how Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) systems are handled through the whole lifecycle. The previous release-by-release driven by main version change (from pre-alpha to gold release) was developed into a continuous release management. Business processes although remained the same, but how can be determined, which part of the software needs to remain untouched,...
We present the Configurable Advanced Verification of Software (CAVS), a prototype tool that automatically generates an efficient set of test cases from descriptions of required interface behavior based on Unified Modeling Language (UML) artifacts. The input to CAVS consists of enhanced UML activity diagrams that define the required behavior of a software component as observed on its interfaces. CAVS...
Enterprises are increasingly being exposed to a number of changes stemming from the overall business environment and their collaborative network of users and partners. Current techniques and models created by using standard frameworks such as Enterprise Architecture are not able to cover relevant design aspects required for service interactions, thus new design elements and aspects stemming from new...
Internet of Things (IoT) domain represents an interconnection of large number of devices and is becoming a primary research topic for the software engineering community. Big part of IoT systems is represented by the so-called embedded systems. There is a lot of existing legacy code for embedded systems, which is going to be integrated into the IoT environment. For most of these systems, architectural...
This work presents a preliminary proposal of a simple architecture for the development of heterogeneous applications, in order to allow the interoperability of applications in digital TV, mobile and web, for its incorporation in IoT. An MDA-based architecture is presented to develop applications based on a high-level abstraction, for which a brief review of MDA concepts and the state of the art is...
The digital transformation of industrial production is driven by the advance of Cyber-Physical Production Systems (CPPS) within which raw materials, machines and operations are interconnected to form a sophisticated network. Making such systems self-adaptable is a priority concern for the future implementation of Industry 4.0 application scenarios. In this position paper, we design a meta-model and...
Industry 4.0 is opening new avenues for reconfigurable and information-centric integration of enterprise functions and control systems. Most of the current approaches (e.g., ISA-95) view enterprise architectures in a pre-defined, monolithic, and hierarchical sense. To enable more innovative, personalized, and efficient manufacturing processes, however, such ‘tree-like’ architectures must turn into...
