Knowledge based engineering to support electric and electronic system design and automatic control software development

• The Design and Engineering Engine (DEE) has been shown its ability able to support the development of E/E systems, finishing a complete design from the logical, technical system architecture to the software components. • The physical plant as well as the software components of the ABS have been generated successfully by the DEE. • The data model of the software components can be automatically calculated and updated when the physical plant of the E/E systems or even the top level overall design changes. • In future, the MMG is expected to support the generation of generic real-time models of the software components. • The proposed design methods and tools can in principle be applied to any dynamic system with a high level of software integration, such as e.g. unmanned aerial vehicles.
