“…This paper provides detailed steps based on ontology using the UAF views implemented by SysML. The flow-based functional analysis is applied at the system level [58], and the flow-based design process is expected to be used in individual standalone systems [55]. This study introduces architectural steps at the SoS-level, which can be upstream of the system design in SE.…”

“…The Semantic Web Rule Language (SWRL) is a rule language that semantic web reasoners can process to enable automated semantic inference [54]. SWRL rules can be specified in an implicit form and are well suited for describing filtering rules [55]. Propositions involved in the rules are represented as atoms of P(x,y), where P is an object property.…”

“…This step, which addresses question 2, aims to clarify the structure of the SoS context, where the OperationalContext is a visual connection between high-level operational concepts. Dependencies between capabilities mean the prerequisites that enable other capabilities, and the supporting functions similar to dependencies can be used for designs based on causal semantics [58] or temporal relations [55]. Accordingly, dependency can be used to reason about OperationalPerformer (who) and OperationalActivity (how).…”

System-of-systems (SoS) architecture is crucial in managing complex and interconnected systems. However, the description and modeling of SoS architecture pose significant challenges and require a structured and organized approach. In this study, a metamodel for SoS architecture that considers both structural and behavioral perspectives is defined. The metamodel is then mapped to ontologies that are enhanced with a flow-based extension to characterize architecture views. On this basis, an SoS capability ontology (SoSCO) and an SoS operational ontology (SoSOO) are built with factors, relationships, and flows. A four-step architecture process for developing capabilities and a five-step architecture process for operational modeling are provided based on the ontologies. The proposed approach is applied in a search and rescue case study, demonstrating its ability to improve operability in the early design stage. The process is implemented using the Unified Architecture Framework (UAF) so that various stakeholders and engineers can better understand and develop an SoS.

“…Before creating such a system, it is necessary to analyze issues related to disability, handicap or liability. It is necessary to consider the existence of legislation, the illegal use of the content of the system, as well as the risk of copyright in the development of the system (Cao, 2021). Before developing a system, it is necessary to develop many solutions to system design issues and compare different system scenarios.…”

INTRODUCTION: Since the 21st century, Internet technology has been developing rapidly, and the field of education has gradually broken through the traditional offline teaching mode; utilizing the Internet mode for distance education to break the time and space constraints of education and music education is more restrictive on time and space. However, if distance education can be better utilized to promote the development of online music education, it will promote the development of music education. OBJECTIVES: This paper combines the past research results of the RBF algorithm, music education and distance education to study the construction of an interactive music distance education platform based on the RBF algorithm. The algorithm is used to improve the quality of the construction of the distance education platform, and the algorithm mainly optimizes the information dissemination path of distance education in the construction of the interactive music distance education platform and improves the reliability of the platform construction. METHODS: The RBF algorithm is used to optimize the construction of the platform, and the case method is used to study individual schools to detect the actual application of music distance education and to find the strengths and weaknesses of the interactive music distance education platform, and to improve the weaknesses to enhance the platform. RESULTS: The study found that constructing an interactive music distance education platform will not guarantee the quality of distance education; teachers and students can not quickly realize the effective communication between teachers and students, and some teachers can not better apply the distance education platform. However, there is still room for developing interactive music distance education platforms. CONCLUSION: The research of interactive music distance education platforms based on the RBF algorithm has a significant positive effect on the development of distance education, art distance education, music education and so on in China. Therefore, it is necessary to continuously improve music education by utilizing online teaching methods and teaching resources.

“…However, uncertainties such as manufacturing tolerances or environmental changes are always present, so a robust formulation for the structure/control optimal design of mechatronic systems is proposed in [ 3 ]. Recently, ontologies have been introduced to define a set of representational primitives modeling the relationships among two domains intersecting in a mechatronic system, mechanical domain, and feedback control domain, [ 4 ].…”

This paper aims to concurrently select and control off-the-shelf BLDC motors of industrial robots by using a synergistic model-based approach. The BLDC motors are considered with trapezoidal back-emf, where the three-phase (a,b,c) dynamics of motors are modeled in a mechatronic powertrain model of the robot for the selection and control problem, defining it as a multi-objective dynamic optimization problem with static and dynamic constraints. Since the mechanical and electrical actuators’ parameters modify the robot’s performance, the selection process considers the actuators’ parameters, their control input, operational limits, and the mechanical output to the transmission of the robot joints. Then, three objective functions are to be minimized, the motor’s energy consumption, the tracking error, and the total weight of installed motors on the robot mechanism. The control parameterization approach via a cascade controller with PI controllers for actuators’ voltage and a PID controller for actuators’ torque is used to solve the multi-objective dynamic optimization problem. Based on simulations of the closed-loop system, a Pareto front is obtained to examine trade-offs among the objective functions before implementing any actuators in the existing robotic system. The proposed method is tested on an experimental platform to verify its effectiveness. The performance of an industrial robot with the actuators originally installed is compared with the results obtained by the synergic approach. The results of this comparison show that 10.85% of electrical power can be saved, and the trajectory tracking error improved up to 57.41% using the proposed methodology.
