Model-based systems engineering is a relatively new discipline. As a result, many system designers are not familiar with the main concepts of model-based systems engineering and how it can beneficially impact systems design. The paper presents an overview of architecture frameworks and modeling languages for model-based systems engineering as well as indicates future trends.

Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) currently lacks a formalized way of managing modeling consistency. This paper presents a new methodology for semantic consistency management in MBSE. At its core, a matrix structure which extends the Multiple Domain Matrix (MDM) and Engineering Systems Matrix (ESM) is used to organize semantic relations between modeling elements created by using various modeling languages and tools, and to represent how they change over time. In addition, this paper describes how the new matrix can be automatically maintained by a plug-in module which manages the bidirectional information transformation between the model and the matrix. We show that the utilization of our methodology has potential in avoiding ambiguous namings in models, enhancing the traceability of modeling elements as well as reducing manual work. A real world engineering use case with air-conditioning is used to show the utilization of our methodology.

Inhalt Unscharfe Anforderungen, verschiedene Lösungs-alternativen oder eingeschränkt gültige Simulationsmodelle sind Beispiele für inhärente Unsicherheit in der Produktentwicklung. Im vorliegenden Beitrag wird ein modellbasierter Ansatz vorgestellt, der das industriell etablierte Denken in Sicherheitsfaktoren um qualitative Aspekte ergänzt. Modelle der Informationsqualität helfen, die Unsicherheit von Ent- wicklungsartefakten beschreibend zu charakterisieren. Mittels semantischer Technologien wird Unsicherheit so wirklich handhabbar – nicht im Sinne einer Berechnung, sondern im Sinne einer qualitativen Interpretation. Dadurch entsteht wertvolles Wissen für die iterative Anforderungsanalyse, die Bewertung alternativer System-Architekturen oder für die Rekonfiguration von Simulationen.

Today, vehicle development is already in a process of substantial transformation. Mobility trends can be derived from global megatrends and have a significant influence on the requirements of the developed vehicles. The sociological, technological, economic, ecological, and political developments can be determined by using the scenario technique. The results are recorded in the form of differently shaped scenarios; however, they are mainly document-based. In order to ensure a holistic approach in the sense of model-based systems engineering and to be able to trace the interrelationships of the fast-changing trends and requirements, it is necessary to implement future scenarios in the system model. For this purpose, a method is proposed that enables the consideration of future scenarios in model-based vehicle development. The procedure of the method is presented, and the location of the future scenarios within the system architectures is named. The method is applied and the resulting system views are derived based on the application example of an autonomous people mover. With the help of the described method, it is possible to show the effects of a change of scenario (e.g., best-case and worst-case) and the connections with the highest level of requirements: stakeholder needs.
