“…3) Methods developed for specific tools whilst remaining applicable to a broad variety of systems. For instance, [27] associates a method with SysML and free software TTool [36], and discusses application to drones. 4) Methods non initially developed for MBSE can be extended with MBSE features.…”

“…In [26] Reilly, Edwars, Peak and Mavris state that 'modelbased methods must provide more than just descriptive information'. Models become references for early debugging of design errors in the first steps of the system's life cycle [27], for automated code generation [28], and for automated generation of test sequences [29].…”

“…The method depicted by figure 6 associates MBSE with MDAO, which are therefore launched in parallel. Relying on the method [27] associated with SysML and free software TTool [36], figure 6 starts MBSE with requirement capture and use case driven analysis. MDAO, which is started in parallel, is made up of three steps: Discipline Analysis, Modeling and Simulation, and Optimization.…”

Switching from document-centric engineering to Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE), Systems Engineering (SE) has significantly evolved in terms of standard practices for the design of complex, interdisciplinary systems. MBSE consists in a top-down, model based approach to describe the entire system focusing on different points of view that cover at least structural and behavioral descriptions. Over the past decade, the need to perform an engineering analysis in the early steps of the system's life cycle has opened avenues for joint use of MBSE and Multidisciplinary Design Analysis and Optimization (MDAO). MDAO is fully dedicated to Analysis and Optimization: the model is restricted to a single aspect of the system that is described in details in a formal language that will be the input of the associated computing tool. This paper surveys and categorizes MBSE and MDAO approaches for better understanding of how MBSE and MDAO can be associated in a systems engineering project. Lessons learned from this literature survey will be used in the framework of French project Concorde. One major expected achievement of the project is to design and implement a methodology to populate parts of the MDAO modeling approach directly from the MBSE one, applied to a UAV case study.

“…Prosvirin et al [85] presented model-based systems engineering environment that can auto-generate the code that complies with several aerospace standards. Some well-known general modeling language such as systems modeling language (SysML) and architecture analysis and design language (AADL) were used in avionic system design as well [86][87][88][89]. There were also efforts to challenge the traditional "Waterfall" software development approach.…”

Purpose of Review This work provides an overview of avionic systems, which can be used as an entry point to learn about their architecture and components, and as a guide for studying the recent development of unmanned aerial systems avionics. Recent FindingsThe development trend of avionics for unmanned aerial systems tends toward the one used for a large aircraft both in the structure of the architecture and in design and implementation processes. However, due to the differences in the operational environment, challenges remain in specifying the proper requirements, and proving their safety and security. SummaryThe paper reviews the functionalities and importance of avionic systems, especially in unmanned aerial systems. It also provides the historical background and the future trend of system development in terms of safety, security, and certification for the purpose of integrating these unmanned aerial systems into an urban airspace.

“…A comparison and evaluation of real-time modeling languages was addressed in [7] with respect to amongst other criteria the scope, the formalism, and the architectural coverage. Several real-time software system modeling languages were reviewed, namely the Architectural Analysis and Design Language (AADL) [9], the Unified Modeling Language (UML) [10], Systems Modeling Language (SysML) [11], [12], the Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time Embedded Systems (MARTE) UML profile [2], and the AADL for UML profile. As a result, MARTE, in addition to being compatible with all of these languages, appeared to be the most suitable language to model RTES regarding the modeling of the compile time, execution, and deployment nature of software.…”

Through the definition of a metamodel, the ECOA (European Component Oriented Architecture) open standard offers a development framework for complex avionic systems software. Its purpose is to create and maintain architectures to achieve interoperability, sustainability and portability at both functional and software interface level. However, being a metamodel, ECOA only offers an abstract syntax and theoretical concepts to develop software and their interfaces. It therefore suffers from a lack of modeling language, tools and methods enabling real-time analysis during the development process of software. Combining the rigour of the ECOA metamodel with the potential of model-based analysis would not only allow a reduction in development time of complex software-based systems but also help improving system optimality with respect to hard real-time requirements. Translation of ECOA concepts into a formally defined and tooled modeling language is thus an avenue to explore. This paper advocates for using the UML realtime profile MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded systems) as it offers a concrete syntax to complete the ECOA metamodel with a certain number of annotations that serve as input for analysis tools. A method will be associated to this approach. Results of a preliminary study are presented both in terms of ECOA to MARTE translation and perspectives for real-time analysis of models.
