Metamodelling of production systems process models using UML stereotypes

International Journal of Internet and Enterprise Management (IJIEM), Vol. 3, No. 2, 2005

Abstract: This paper contributes to a formal framework for the automation of production systems. Automatic control systems deal currently with theoretical modelling techniques that aim to formally define the behaviour of a control system when process behaviours and system requirements are well defined. Our approach aims to facilitate a common and consensual understanding of an automated system at the early stage of a systems engineering process. This approach is based on the use UML stereotypes, based on a systemic approach, to globally formalise a production system satisfying the following predicate: Control Systems Requirements ∧ Process Systems Requirements ⇒ Production System Requirements.
