“…In model-driven software engineering approach, this is primarily done by starting off with a broad scope or an abstract decomposition of a system or a process, termed as meta-models, with focus on the organization of the meta-models and the relationship with other models (Breton andBezivin 2001, Weston 1999). These generic meta models can then be used to develop more specific ones, thus making them more suitable for reuse.…”

“…We can think of the concept of HPS being closely related to model-driven software engineering, where the goal is to develop a framework for reuse of and interoperability between a variety of passive and active information models (Breton and Bezivin 2001).

When using models and simulations in the design and reconfiguration of manufacturing systems, it is difficult to gage the fidelity of the model, especially if the system being modeled doesn't yet exist. The model cannot typically be validated until the system is in place. We propose the concept of Hybrid Process Simulation (HPS), an extension of traditional Hardware-in-Loop (HIL) technology, as a bridge between pure simulation and the final physical system. In this paper, we present a framework for swapping a virtual device with its real counterpart. The virtual model is developed using simulation software obtained from the vendor of the actual device, so that the model offers the same functionality as the actual device. Using the vendor simulation software, we were able to demonstrate the modularity of HPS, since the virtual and actual device can be more easily swapped with minimal changes to the rest of the existing system. The framework is presented as a proof-of-concept for HPS applications in the design and reconfiguration of a manufacturing line. A case study describing the implementation of the hybrid process simulation using a virtual and real robot on the Reconfigurable Factory Testbed at the University of Michigan is presented.

Defining organizational processes is essential for enhancing maturity. However the best process depends on the particularities of each project. Typically a process engineer defines a specific process for each project in an ad-hoc fashion, which is expensive, unrepeatable and error prone. Trying to deal with this challenge we propose a model-based approach to software process tailoring that generates project specific processes based on the organizational process and the project context. The approach is systematic, repeatable and it does not depend on the people using it. The proposal has been applied for tailoring the Requirements Engineering process of a medium size company. The obtained results were validated by process engineers of the company. Processes obtained using the proposed approach matched the ones used in the company for planned contexts and also they were reasonable for non-expected situations.

A new information system landscape is emerging that will be more model-centered than object-oriented, characterized by many models of low granularity and high abstraction. These models may describe various aspects of a system such as products, structural organization and processes. This latter category may be refined into manufacturing, software and business processes for example. Each of these sub-domains share common concerns such the definition of work items, performers, inputs and outputs, etc. However, as they may be represented using separate meta-models, there is therefore a risk of facing an uncontrollable number of meta-models that all redefine similar modeling constructs. It would be a wise initiative to put all these contributions together and to study what may be common and what should stay specific. In this paper we underline some similarities between process meta-models and we sketch out how they could be organized.
