The platform-based design methodology [1] is based on the usage of formal modeling
techniques, clearly defined abstraction levels and the separation of concerns to enable an …

Cyber-Physical Systems are integrations of computation and physical processes and as
such, will be increasingly relevant to industry and people. The complexity of designing CPS …

Editor's note: The use of metamodeling in system design allows abstraction of concepts
germane to a number of varying modeling domains, and provides the ability of exploiting …
