“…'PN models' and 'event graphs' are network models. However, the model structure can look like fairly complicated by using the network models, even for small scale systems (Wagenhals, Haider, & Levis, 2003;Yaroker et al, 2013) Moreover, networks mainly show the causality by arcs. Hence, these models cannot simply show certain aspects of the system structure such as hierarchy or commonality.…”

“…Class diagram is one of the most utilized graphs in OO modelling by using UML. Class diagram describes a system structure with respect to decomposition hierarchy of classes and their relationships (Acheson, 2010;Bennett et al, 2005;Booch, 1994;Wagenhals et al, 2003) Thus, this research suggests modeling the logical architecture of a CES by developing the class diagram of the intended CES. SysML involves modelling with blocks instead of modelling with classes.…”

Modern production, logistic and assembly systems comprise of a considerable number of processes which operate by using diverse types of resources. Conceptual design of these systems has become more complicated because of the large scale and multi-disciplinary essence of their design knowledge. This paper proposes a modelling framework to support the conceptual design of such systems. The framework employs the principles of system engineering to fulfil the necessity of having a multi-disciplinary approach for the design of such systems. The framework realizes the essence of holistic design by modelling the structural and behavioral aspects of a system in one design artefact. Object Oriented (OO) method is employed to facilitate the complexity of holistic analysis and yielding proper logics for system architecting. This paper proposes incorporating the OO analyzing semantics into Finite State Machine formalism. Therefore, the logical architecture will be established in an FSM platform. In return, the resultant artefact can stand as an executable Meta-Architecture such that design alternatives are its instances. Moreover, the Meta-Architecture enables simulation of the alternatives which serve their early validation. Accordingly, this approach opens avenues regarding incorporation of the Meta-Architecture with computational and analyzing methods which can significantly support the decision making in the conceptual design stage.

“…Navigation proceeds from the context instance to the required targets of CALLOPERATIONACTION. 7 An alternate notation is shown in Figure 8. A completely class-based decomposition would show just the classes that are navigated through, for example, COMPANY and FULFILLMENT, but this will not tell exactly which instances are the targets of messages, unless the type of the properties are unique in the root class.…”

“…Figure 6 9 Except when used with streaming or optional parameters [4]. 10 This is a common misinterpretation of activities with class partitions, and has significant impact on methodologies that use both diagram types [7]. There are many ways that ordering of action execution might be achieved in a message passing implementation.…”

This is the fifth in a series introducing the activity model in the Unified Modeling Language, version 2 (UML 2), and how it integrates with the action model [1]. The first article gives an overview of activities and actions [2], while the next three cover actions generally, control nodes, and object nodes. This one describes partitions, which are a way of grouping actions that have some characteristic in common. In particular, they can relate actions to classes that are responsible for them, and highlight the abstraction that activities provide for interaction diagrams and state machines. PARTITIONSPartitions are groups of actions that highlight information already in an activity, or that will be, and present it in a more compact way. Partitions do not have execution semantics themselves, but because they are redundant with the information in the executable part of the model, tools can automatically update the executable model when the user modifies partitions or their contents. To reduce clutter, tools can also omit the redundant portions of the execution from the diagram, while still keeping them in the model repository for system generation. Figure 1 shows the example used in this article, adapted from [1] [3].
