Title
The Modelverse: a tool for multi-paradigm modelling and simulation
Author
Abstract
Multi-Paradigm Modelling (MPM) has been proposed to tackle the complexities found in Cyber-Physical Systems. MPM advocates the explicit modelling of all pertinent parts and aspects of complex systems. It adresses and integrates three orthogonal dimensions: multi-abstraction modelling, concerned with the (refinement, generalization, ...) relationships between models; multi-formalism modelling, concerned with the (multi-view, multi-component, ...) coupling of and transformation between models described in different formalisms; explicitly modelling the often complex, concurrent workflows. Current modelling, analysis and simulation tools support only isolated parts of MPM. The core methods and techniques enabling MPM are modelling language engineering, model operations (such as transformation and simulation), and workflow modelling. This paper delves into each enabler, presenting its relation to MPM and how it is supported in our prototype tool: the Modelverse. An automotive power window example is used to illustrate the Modelverse's capabilities. All aspects are explicitly modelled and enacted with a Formalism Transformation Graph + Process Model (FTG+PM).
