“…The successful integration of MBSE is not restricted on the usage of SysML system models but involves all relevant models throughout the development (Bajzek et al 2021b). Hence, a consistent toolchain is crucial for the application of MBSE (Ma et al 2022). However, multidisciplinary systems will require synchronous modelling activities during the development.…”

The use of system models within model-based systems engineering (MBSE) is essential for improved communication or system documentation. Previous publications have investigated further reuse of these system models, for example, transforming them directly into discipline-specific models for reuse. The authors refer to this as the term “Utilization” of system models. It aims the compensation of modelling efforts and a further integration of linked models within MBSE. Motivated by a lack of common understanding of this term, a systematic literature review of the state of the art is presented. With this systematic overview, a definition and classification system for different use cases and system life cycle stages are created. These are key results to support engineers and researchers in adopting existing or discovering new utilization approaches. This supports the mission of advanced systems engineering and aims the identification of new research directions coming along with SysML v2 and the advanced systems engineering methods.

“…Model-Based System Engineering (MBSE) has a key role in the lifecycle of modern SoS. A systematic review of MBSE approaches is provided in [13]. A good summary of current tools and toolchains in the Cyber-Physical SoS (CPSoS) domain can be found in [14].…”

Engineering tools support the process of creating, operating, maintaining, and evolving systems throughout their lifecycle. Toolchains are sequences of tools that build on each others' output during this procedure. The complete chain of tools itself may not even be recognized by the humans who utilize them, people may just recognize the right tool being used at the right place in time. Modern engineering processes, however, do not value such ad-hoc choice of tooling, because of their uncontrolled nature. Building upon the Extended Automation Engineering Model defined by the IEC 81346 standard, this paper proposes to automate the toolchain building and execution process for Cyber-Physical System of Systems (CPSoS), utilizing key principles of the Eclipse Arrowhead framework. The proposed toolchain automation solution addresses issues such as tool interoperability, interaction, automation, and dynamic choreography. The feasibility of this set of integrated concepts is validated through an Arrowhead-based toolchain choreography demonstration.Note to Practitioners-The paper discusses approaches to the automated execution of various industry-related processes. As the processes are becoming more complex and involve numerous systems which have to be orchestrated, a simple and preprogrammed workflow is not enough anymore. Therefore, building on top of the principles of the Eclipse Arrowhead framework, an adequate model of toolchains, allowing for their automated execution, is proposed. Different approaches to supervision of toolchain execution are discussed showing the benefits of reaching higher automation levels. Further, four adoption levels are introduced, which are a measure of the toolchain automation progress. Finally, a simplified demonstrator is shown and steps to elevate it to higher adoption levels are highlighted. To ensure that the approach is industry-oriented, several examples of how the proposed methodology can be used in the industrial context are discussed.

“…MBSE aims to integrate and represent the results of different development activities within one system model (Friedenthal et al 2015). Existing research points out the current state of practice and applications of MBSE (Huldt and Stenius 2019;Albers and Zingel 2013), the basic benefits and positive attributes of MBSE (Henderson and Salado 2021) or MBSE tool-chains concepts (Ma et al 2022). Other authors highlight the reduced effort for information transfer between different tasks within the development process (Younse et al 2021).…”

Objective of this contribution is to present the use of Model-based Systems Engineering within the engineering design community. Based on a differentiation between SE and MBSE, the definition of three core MBSE elements, namely modelling method, modelling language, and modelling tool as well as the three major aspects of a consistent system model (requirements, behaviour, and structure) a structured review is conducted, focussing on the understanding and motivation as well as the modelling of systems. The review includes 93 publications from Design Society library and proceedings of the CIRP Design conferences during the period from 2011 to 2022. The review points out, that there is an increasing application of MBSE within the engineering design community, mainly focussing on architecture definition or combined engineering activities. Only a small portion of works (16 publications) are providing a consistent approach as these publications link all aspects of the system model and consider all three MBSE elements. It can be concluded, that there is a diffuse understanding of MBSE and different motivations are given to apply more formal system models as well as modelling tools.
