Data mining meets system modelling
Visar Januzaj · 2018
Motivated by the system management concept of Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA), where the system is manually divided into a hierarchical structure of clusters of closely related system components, so called integration areas, we introduce a data mining-based approach to automatically calculate such integration areas or clusters. Thus, facilitating the modelling process by clustering software components with dense intercommunication, achieving in this way a reduced off-board intercommunication, once the software is mapped to the underlying hardware. Even though the idea emerged from the avionics domain, the proposed approach can be applied to other domains, e.g., automotive, as well.
