  Abstract/
Summary
Due to increases in system complexity, systems engineering problems often involve many domains, each with their own experts and tools. To help these experts with analysis and decision making, it is desirable to present them with a view of the system that is tailored to their particular task. In this paper, a model integration framework, based on models based systems engineering, is demonstrated to address issues associated with multi-view modeling. One important issue discussed in particular is the problem of maintaining consistency between the multiple models and views. The systems modeling language (OMG SysML™) is proposed as a general language to represent the dependencies between the multiple views. Metamodels and graph transformations are defined to map between the views and maintain consistency between them. The integration is achieved in a user-interactive and continuous manner based on declarative transformation rules. The approach is illustrated by applying it to an example problem of an electrical CAD subsystem of a mechatronic system.
