Abstract

Multi-view modeling refers to a system designer constructing distinct and separate models of the same system to model different (semantic) aspects of a system. Modeling pragmatics also entails constructing different views of a system, but here the focus is on syntactic/pragmatic aspects, with an emphasis on designer productivity, and the views are constructed automatically by filtering and drawing algorithms. In this paper, we argue that both approaches will have growing influence on model-based design, in particular for complex cyber-physical systems, and we identify a number of general developments that seem likely to contribute to this until 2020. This includes notably the trend towards domain-specific modeling and agile development, novel input devices, and the move to the cloud. We also report on preliminary practical results in this area with two modeling environments, Ptolemy and kieler, and the lessons learned from their combined usage.
