Seamless Model-Based Development: From Isolated Tools to Integrated Model Engineering Environments

摘要: More than 20 years of research has created a large body ideas, concepts, and theories for model-based development embedded software-intensive systems. These approaches have been implemented by several tools successfully applied to various projects. However, the everyday use in automotive avionic industries is still limited. Most time, engineers work with predefined set isolated tools, therefore adapt their engineering methods process available tools. Today, industry achieves tool integration demand-driven, pragmatic, ad-hoc composed chains priori existent commercial Nevertheless, these are not (and cannot be) seamless, since that can be achieved deep enough. This hampers reuse refinement models, which subsequently leads problems like redundancy, inconsistency, lack automation. In end, deficiencies decrease both productivity quality could provided approaches. To overcome problems, deep, coherent, comprehensive models required. Such an following three ingredients: 1) modeling theory serves as semantic domain 2) integrated architectural model holistically describes product process, 3) manner build conform allow authoring model. We show from scientific point view, all ingredients at our hands do substantial step into world. Further, we illustrate why such solution so far, discuss what done get closer seamless engineering.
