Design and Simulation of Self-Optimizing Mechatronic Systems with Fujaba and CAMeL
Sven Burmester, Holger Giese, Florian Klein · 2004
Self-Optimizing mechatronic systems which are able to re-act autonomously and flexibly to changing environments are one promising approach for the next generation of mechan-ical engineering systems. To render designing such systems possible, an approach is required which goes far beyond what is offered by today’s standard tools for mechatronic systems. In this paper, we outline how a smooth integra-tion between mechanical and software engineering methods and tools supports the design of verifiable, complex, recon-figurable mechatronic systems. The focus of the paper is on enabling the design and simulation of safe reconfigurable mechatronic systems, as reconfiguration is a critical prereq-uisite for self-optimization. 1.
