Visiting Speaker: Professor Peter Fritzson
Don't miss this. Peter is only here for another
couple of months and this is a tremendous
opportunity to learn about a great complex systems
modelling too which also has great software
engineering as its basis.
Place: Room 622, GP South (Building 78)
Time: Thursday 6th March 2008 , 10:30 morning Tea, 11:00am seminar
Speaker: Professor Peter Fritzson, Linkoping University, Sweden.
Title: Discussion Seminar: Model-driven Engineering of Complex Systems
Abstract:
Increasingly complex systems are engineered, consisting of interacting software and hardware components. How can such systems be engineered in a consistent and safe manner? Traditionally, programming languages with powerful abstractions have been suggested. Modelica, supporting acausal
equations and components, is used to model increasingly complex engineering application systems. The recent Modelica 3.0 with automatic balancing of equations in each component, will probably enable modeling of an order-of-magnitude more complex systems than the previous version.
Recently software modeling approches such as MDA with UML have gained increasing popularity. Why? They offer visual programming but rather less abstraction power then conventional programming languages.
Is their success in certain domains due to the fact that certain diagram types might be used as domain-specific languages?
Similar notations, e.g. Behavior trees, are proposed not only for requirement specification but also for programming? For certain application domains or in general? These constructs are to be good at
transforming certain kinds of requirements to code, but seem to lack many programming abstractions found in programming languages.
Our work with ModelicaML tries to integrate software modeling with UML with physical modeling using acausal equations and hierarchical components and graphical connections in Modelica, to provide an
integrated approach. Is this a good idea? (Also note recent SysML extension to UML).
