Das Forschungsvorhaben umfasst eine Konzeptentwicklung, sowie die Leistung von Vorabeiten für ein prototypisches Entwicklungsvorhaben, mit dem Ziel technologische und ökonomische Aspekte im modellbasierten Variantenmanagement aufzuzeigen. Dabei sollen neben dem modellbasierten Variantenmanagement auch die Validierung von Varianten und die Annotation von Metainformationen (Gewicht, Stromverbrauch, Kosten) in Modellvarianten untersucht, sowie erste Ideen für eine technologische Umsetzung des erkannten Potenzials skizziert werden.
Model-Based Adaptation Engineering (MAE) in Automation Systems Engineering (ASE) (MAE4ASE) is a module of the Christian Doppler Laboratory on Software Engineering Integration for Flexible Automation Systems. It addresses the upcoming need of ASE to raise the level of flexibility of automation systems even further in order to better react to changing environments.
The project LEA-xDSML (Language Engineering for Analyzable Executable Domain-Specific Modeling Languages) resides in the context of Model-Driven Engineering (MDE), which proposes the use of domain-specific modeling languages (DSMLs) to reduce the complexity associated with the development of complex software-intensive systems, as, for instance, found in the automation domain, production domain, and automotive domain.
InteGra 4.0 focuses on the horizontal integration throughout value chains as well as on the vertical integration of networked production systems as identified by the German working committee for Industrie 4.
The project ERPEL targets at an e-business registry serving as a backbone for executing on-the-fly e-business transactions between semantically enabled ERP systems. By on-the-fly e-business transactions we understand transactions that are conducted between companies, which are not yet in a partnership and dynamically find each other in order to engage in e-business transactions.
Like traditional program code, software models are not resistant to change, but evolve over time by undergoing continuous extensions, corrections, and modifications. In model-driven engineering (MDE), evolution is multidimensional leading to the model management tasks of synchronization, versioning, and co-evolution.
The definition of the Austrian e-Billing Standard ebInterface was successfully conducted by well-known ERP system vendors under the lead ot the TU Vienna. The project ebInvoice resulted in the implementation of the ebInterface standard in their ERP systems.
The Austrian e-billing standard ebInterface has been supported by major Austrian ERP-vendors. Thus, the XML-based ebInterface standard may be used in Austria to exchange invoices by electronic means. However, the critical mass of adopters has not yet been reached, which limits the full potential of electronic e-billing in Austria.
