A metamodel for an Adaptive Control System

Abstract

In this paper a metamodel for an Adaptive Control System (ACS) is described. This metamodel was built employing USE, which is a UML-based specification environment. The main goal of the metamodel is to complement other models describing different views of an ACS. As the reader will notice, the metamodel is composed of a graphical and a mathematical model. Weak constraints are specified in the graphical model using a Unified Modeling Language (UML) class diagram, while strong constraints are defined in the mathematical model using the Object Constraint Language (OCL).
