Towards model-based derivation of systems in the industrial automation domain
Miao Fang, Georg Leyh, Joerg Doerr, Christoph Elsner, Jingjing Zhao · 2015
Many systems in the industrial automation domain include information systems. They manage manufacturing processes and control numerous distributed hardware and software components. In current practice, the development and reuse of such systems is costly and time-consuming, due to the variability of systems' topology and processes. Up to now, product line approaches for systematic modeling and management of variability have not been well established for such complex domains.
