Abstract

In this paper we discuss an alternative Model Based Design approach which can be used to bridge the concept-implementation gap commonly encountered during the design of complex, software-intensive multidomain systems also known as Cyber Physical Systems (CPS). CPS differs from other mechatronic systems due to the close coupling between the physical and computing systems. The focus is on getting the physics right-the rest is mathematics. Existing Model based Development techniques are predominantly software based and use UML for modeling complex engineering systems leading to difficulties in Model validation and verification and code generation. We propose a novel and unified approach based on BG-UMF; a bond graph based Meta Modeling framework as a practical and viable alternative to OMGs UML/SysML/OCL combination for meta modeling CPS. The power of the framework is highlighted through an example scenario: Conceptual Design and Development of a UAV.
