“…In this sense, some real time oriented component frameworks actually provide support for modeling real-time attributes (e.g., period or budget) and scheduling analysis [40]. Other component frameworks are specifically designed for a specific application domain (e.g., Autosar [11] and BlueArX [22] in automotive, or OROCOS [12] in robotics), whilst other cover a broader range of applications and diverse requirements (e.g., Fractal [16], SOFA [27] or SCA [32]).…”

Sensory environments for healthcare are commonplace nowadays. A patient monitoring system in such an environment deals with sensor data capture, transmission and processing in order to provide on-the-spot support for monitoring the vulnerable and critical patients. A fault in such a system can be hazardous on the health of the patient. Therefore, such a system must be dependable and ensure reliability, fault-tolerance, safety and other critical aspects, in order to deploy it in real scenario. Also, the management of the infrastructure resources must be efficient and the eventual system reconfiguration must be reliably performed. This paper encounters some of these issues and proposes a component platform with specific support for several QoS aspects, namely fault tolerance, safe inter-component communication and resource management. The platform adopts the Service Component Architecture (SCA) model and defines a Data Distribution Service (DDS) binding, which provides the fault tolerance and the required safety-ensuring techniques and measures, as defined in the IEC Multimed Tools Appl

“…As a complementary approach to multi-mode systems, CBSE [3] advocates the reuse of independently developed software components as a promising technique for the development of complex software systems. The success of CBSE has been evidenced by a variety of component models proposed both in industry and academia [4,5]. CBSE suggests software modularity and reusability to facilitate the development of high-quality software.…”

Growing software complexity is an increasing challenge for the software development of modern cyber-physical systems. A classical strategy for taming this complexity is to partition system behaviors into different operational modes specified at design time. Such a multi-mode system can change behavior by switching between modes at run-time. A complementary approach for reducing software complexity is provided by component-based software engineering (CBSE), which reduces complexity by building systems from composable, reusable and independently developed software components. CBSE and the multi-mode approach are fundamentally conflicting in that component-based development conceptually is a bottom-up approach, whereas partitioning systems into operational modes is a top-down approach with its starting point from a system-wide perspective. In this article, we show that it is possible to combine and integrate these two fundamentally conflicting approaches. The key to simultaneously benefiting from the advantages of both approaches lies in the introduction of a hierarchical mode concept that provides a conceptual linkage between the bottom-up component-based approach and system level modes. As a result, systems including modes can be developed from reusable mode-aware components. The conceptual drawback of the approach—the need for extensive message exchange between components to coordinate mode-switches—is eliminated by an algorithm that collapses the component hierarchy and thereby eliminates the need for inter-component coordination. As this algorithm is used from the design to implementation level (“compilation”), the CBSE design flexibility can be combined with efficiently implemented mode handling, thereby providing the complexity reduction of both approaches, without inducing any additional design or run-time costs. At the more specific level, this article presents (1) a mode mapping mechanism that formally specifies the mode relation between composable multi-mode components and (2) a mode transformation technique that transforms component modes to system-wide modes to achieve efficient implementation.

“…However, these literature only tackle the sub-problem within industrial automation without considering the linking relation of product to be fabricated and control system to be implemented. To provide a guide for choosing MDE or CBD framework when building control system, [22] gives a comparison between them and gives some recommendations of using CBD. Contemporary literature shows a feature that the integration of MDE and CBD is more obvious and will become a promising solution in the industrial automation system.…”

The industrial cyber-physical production system contains a variety of heterogeneous devices and models, which increase the complexity of system design, particularly in software programming. Although the proposed model-driven engineering (MDE) is applied to industrial automation for this issue, the inherent complex dependencies and constraints between models and the availability of suitable tools for code generation limit the application of the model-driven approach in practice, especially as the system becomes more enormous. The component-based design (CBD) approach, which is a bottom-up approach, in contrast to the MDE that is top-down, is proposed to manage the complexity of software aspect based on the idea that building a system from existing components instead of the scratch. However, CBD can't provide the whole system model, so other ways should be adopted to design the system structure in advance. This paper presents an integrated design approach based on the combination of CBD and MDE to realize auto-design for cyberphysical production systems.
