Abstract

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are composed of computational and physical components, which includes various types of physical phenomena such as electrical and mechanical domains. Many modeling paradigms exist to model the static properties and dynamic behavior of such components. However, there is no unified modeling framework to compose components that use different paradigms and/or tools. In this paper, we present the syntax and semantics of such an integration language and its component-based design, where components can embed models from different tools, formalisms, and paradigms such as Bond Graphs and Modelica models. Our framework is built around common set of interface concepts to support heterogeneous composition and interchangeability among modeling paradigms.
