Abstract

Today, mechanical engineering products can largely be classified as mechatronic systems, i.e. systems integrating electrical and mechanical components with software. Mechatronic systems are often employed in safety-critical areas, for instance in the automotive or railway domain. MECHATRONIC UML is a UML profile specifically tailored towards the modelling of mechatronic systems. It aims at bringing model-based design and formal analysis to the mechatronic area, which has originally been dominated by engineering techniques. In this paper we give a survey of the modelling as well as verification techniques supported by MECHATRONIC UML.
