“…This is however difficult for the reason that many research works have strongly interdisciplinary or multidisciplinary character. Just to mention one illustrative example, the research of (Harrison and West, 2000) extends to at least three research subdomains that have been identified in our paper. Contemporary system engineering also includes domains of research, such as engineering project management and operations research, which the classical one does not.…”

There has been intense foundational research in complex technical systems (CTSs) over the last half century. These systems are exemplified by advanced mechatronics systems, embedded control systems, real-time systems, agent-based smart systems, distributed software systems, internet of things systems, and cyber-physical systems. The objective of this paper is to offer an initial cataloguing of the various research domains and to identify the major research issues. The paper has an ontological flavour, because it concentrates on what research has been and is being done, rather than on why and how research is done. The underpinning study has been done in three stages: (i) intuition-driven exploration of a reference set of related academic publications, (ii) evidence-based specification of a categorization of the domains and subdomains of research, and (iii) refinement and validation of the proposed classification based on a control set of related academic publications. The proposed reasoning model identifies three categories of research domains. The 'intellectualizations' category includes research domains such as: (i) philosophy, (ii) ontology, and (iii) epistemology of CTSs. The research domains included in the 'realizations' category are: (iv) methodology, and (v) creation of CTSs. The domains considered in the 'influences' category are: (vi) manifestations, and (vii) axiology of CTSs. Based on the proposed reasoning model a landscape of foundational research in CTSs is proposed for public debate. Our follow-up study focuses on the extension of the proposed classification to other families of complex engineered systems such as sociotechnical systems and social ecosystems.

“…In general, component-based development has been an attractive approach in the domain of automation systems by many researchers such as Harrison & West (2000a); Harrison et al (2003); Lee (2004);Phaithoonbuathong (2009). However, there are several challenges in this concept.…”

“…These issues can produce adverse affects on the performance of other components, if any/some components consume a significant amount of these resources. Therefore to avoid such issues, the components in CB approach are assigned with pre-defined physical resources within the component boundary; which are not accessible to other components (Harrison & West, 2000b). Thus, each component has a limit and can only consume the resources allocated to it during the component development phase.…”

Through a Web server, they can drive the real machine in the workshop and the corresponding virtual machine (a VRML simulation model) in its client windows.…”

“…Although various CAD/CAM systems are now widely used, properly integrated approaches to machine design and control are still in their infancy and have not yet been established in industry [7]. It is believed that integrated 3D geometric simulation and emulation techniques can be applied to the optimisation of machine design and control logic testing.…”

This paper describes a novel 3D simulation modelling system for supporting our distributed machine design and control paradigm with respect to simulating and emulating machine behaviour on the Internet. The system has been designed and implemented using Java2D andJava3D. An easy assembly concept of drag-and-drop assembly has been realised and implemented by the introduction of new connection features (unified interface assembly features) between two assembly components (modules). The system comprises a hierarchical geometric modeller, a behavioural editor, and two assemblers. During modelling, designers can combine basic modelling primitives with general extrusions and integrate CAD geometric models into simulation models. Each simulation component (module) model can be visualised and animated in VRML browsers.It is reusable. This makes machine design re-configurable and flexible. A case study example is given to support our conclusions.
