Holistic, model-based service repository for distributed industrial automation

Modern industrial control applications gradually take advantage of well-defined state-of-the-art distributed software architecture principles and framework designs, including corresponding modeling techniques. Moreover, the advent of this new era goes way beyond current modeling tool-chains via the application of mature meta-model driven software engineering paradigms. In the frame of the Arrowhead ARTEMIS project these techniques are to showcase the synergies between multi-level meta-model driven design and SOA based dynamic model-aware run-time framework components. This paper reports on the on-going engineering efforts in this domain by showing the generic architecture and by explaining some of the current implementation details through a prototypical tool-chain and a simple model example.
