Description
Systemic thinking is required to design increasingly complex mechatronic systems. SySML is a description language that is tailored precisely to this purpose. Based on UML, it also enables the modelling of requirements, hardware and time behaviour in the context of both simulation and testing. A model-based engineering decision is expensive and risky, so efficient assessment of the suitability of SysML is critical to success, as is rapid familiarisation. The book and the accompanying digital material with the models in two modelling environments (EASystems and CoDeSys) enable a step-by-step, efficient introduction that extends to the various facets of more complex mechatronic production systems. The book plus material can be used both as a basis for courses, including exercises and interactive formats, and as a step-by-step introduction to more realistic models from the perspective of manufacturers of mechatronic systems through to production systems.
About the Author
Prof. Vogel-Heuser's (*1961) research focuses on system and software engineering as well as the modelling of distributed and reliable embedded systems. In particular, she focuses on the challenges arising from the increasing demand for customised products in plant engineering. Hybrid processes and heterogeneously distributed, intelligent systems including human-machine interaction are also part of her research.
Birgit Vogel-Heuser obtained her diploma in electrical engineering in 1987 and her Dr.-Ing. in mechanical engineering in 1990 at RWTH Aachen University, Germany. She gained over ten years of industrial experience in industrial automation. After various professorships, she was appointed to the Chair of Automation and Information Systems at the Technical University of Munich in 2009. Her research focuses on developable field automation and corresponding architectures for manufacturing and logistics systems. She is a Senior Member of the IEEE, IEEE, IEEE RAS Distinguished Lecturer, Co-Chair of the IEEE RAS TC Digital Manufacturing and Human-Centered Automation and a member of the National Academy of Science and Engineering in Germany (acatech).
