Abstract
One of the biggest challenges in cyber-physical system (CPS) design is their intrinsic complexity, heterogeneity, and multidisciplinary nature. Emerging distributed CPS integrate a wide range of heterogeneous aspects such as physical dynamics, control, machine learning or error handling, and are often distributed over multiple physical locations, hardware platforms and communication networks. While model-based design (MBD) has tremendously improved the design of CPS, the task is still difficult. Models are meant to improve understanding of a system, yet this quality is often lost when models become too complicated. In this paper, we show how to use aspect-oriented (AO) modeling techniques in MBD as a systematic way to segregate domains of expertise and cross-cutting concerns within the model. We demonstrate these concepts on actor-oriented models of an industrial robotic swarm application and illustrate the use of AO modeling techniques to manage the complexity. We also show how to use AO modeling for design-space exploration.
