Test-Case Generation for the Validation of Integrated Automation Systems Engineering Environments
نویسندگان
چکیده
Automation Systems Engineering Projects typically involve the cooperation of a set of different engineering disciplines and therefore heavily rely on systems integration approaches. However, the configuration of the underlying technical integration platform is a complex and error-prone task requiring high manual effort checking whether the integration of an engineering tool is compatible with all running engineering processes and affecting engineering tools. Therefore, the outcome of the integration is only known at the end of the integration process. In this paper we describe a model-based concept which facilitates the derivation of test cases for introducing test methods at an early stage of the integration process by using ontologies. Based on an industrial scenario we discuss that the approach helps verify compatibility of the integration solution as knowledge regarding the overall system is captured.

متن کاملAn adaptive modified firefly algorithm to unit commitment problem for large-scale power systems
Unit commitment (UC) problem tries to schedule output power of generation units to meet the system demand for the next several hours at minimum cost. UC adds a time dimension to the economic dispatch problem with the additional choice of turning generators to be on or off. In this paper, in order to improve both the exploitation and exploration abilities of the firefly algorithm (FA), a new mo...
