A Methodological Template for Model Driven Systems Engineering
نویسندگان
چکیده
The advent of formal modeling languages (e.g., UML and SysML) and system architecture frameworks (e.g., DoDAF and MODAF) has given systems engineers the ability to effectively describe the requirements as well as the behavior and the structure of systems. Approaches founded on the use of modeling languages and frameworks are grouped under the banner of MBSE (Model Based Systems Engineering). The basic idea is that a model evolves over the system development life-cycle, until it becomes the built-to baseline. In this paper, we consider a modeling approach based on the use of a metamodeling architecture that focuses on the use of models as the primary artifacts of system development. We specifically address the use of MDA (Model Driven Architecture), which allows to increase the level of automation when evolving models from the very abstract representation of a system down to the system implementation, thus making easier (i.e., at reduced cost and effort) the analysis, development and testing activities. By applying MDA concepts and standards to MBSE approaches we obtain what we refer to as MDSE (Model Driven Systems Engineering). The paper illustrates a methodological template for MDSE and shows its application to the development of a software-intensive system.

A Data-driven Method for Crowd Simulation using a Holonification Model
In this paper, we present a data-driven method for crowd simulation with holonification model. With this extra module, the accuracy of simulation will increase and it generates more realistic behaviors of agents. First, we show how to use the concept of holon in crowd simulation and how effective it is. For this reason, we use simple rules for holonification. Using real-world data, we model the...
متن کاملIncreasing Operating Room Profits and Decreasing Wait Lists by Use of a Data-Driven Overbooking Model
Background and Objectives: Operating rooms (ORs) are precious resources in hospitals, as they constitute more than 40% of the hospital revenues.As such, surgical cancellations are very costly to hospitals. Same-day surgery cancellations or no-shows were found to be the main contributing factor to underutilization of operating rooms (ORs) in a public-sector hospital despite the ...

متن کاملOperators for Template-Based MDE
In MDE, design of systems can be improved and accelerated thanks to reusable models which are made available in model repositories or libraries. This paper focuses on the construction and exploitation of “off-the-shelf” model template bases. Model templates are parameterized models which are adaptable to various application contexts. Due to their parameterization, model templates have their own...
متن کاملA Methodological Approach to Developing Model Transformations
In Model Driven Engineering (MDE) model-to-model transformations are a key means for developing software systems. Manual manipulation of models can become unmanageable and expertise in model manipulation would need to be put in practice again and again. This technique has the potential to save a considerable amount of work from developers, as well as to avoid errors associated with manual proce...
