Abstract
Through the increasing complexity and dynamics of industrial automation scenarios, the notion of Systems of Systems (SoS) has gained importance in this field. Here, interconnected constituent (hardware as well as software) systems collaborate in order to achieve common goals and to increase the efficiency of certain industrial applications.The Arrowhead Tools project aims at proposing a comprehensive, flexible platform for supporting SoS engineering in its every phase, in the form of an engineering toolchain. Thereby, although the SoS operation aspect has been already elaborated on, the design phase and the usage of design artifacts as part of a continous tool interoperability scenario received less attention so far. In this paper, we describe such a toolchain interoperability scenario, paving the way towards an established, integrated solution, by linking systems modeling practices with SoS operational management. In particular, we propose a customtailored abstract SysML profile for Arrowhead SoS design, and a prototype implementation for a bidirectional link between SoS models and a tool for managing Arrowhead SoS via a customtailored textual format. We illustrate the approach through a realistic industrial application.
