Abstract

We describe an approach to the model-based engineering of cyber-physical systemsthat permits the coupling of diverse discrete-event and continuous-time models and theirsimulators. A case study in the building automation domain demonstrates how such co-modelsand co-simulation can promote early cooperation between disciplines within a systemsengineering process before the expensive commitment is made to integration in physicalprototypes. We identify areas for future advances in foundations, methods and tools to realisethe potential of a co-modelling approach within established systems engineering processes.
