itemis: VireS and WieMod research projects launched
Practical transfer of model-based development methods
Abstract
itemis AG, a leading IT consulting firm and service provider based in Lünen, Germany, is announcing its participation on the new VireS and WieMod research projects. In association with renowned partners, itemis currently carries out various research projects, including VireS and WieMod, to investigate the transfer to practice and further development of research results in the context of model-based development methods. The VireS project has undertaken to develop a modeling tool based on Eclipse, while WieMod is focusing on the issue of »reusing simulation models«.Download: Long version (PDF, 24 KB)
On the VireS research project, itemis is developing a modeling tool based on Eclipse for the integrated specification of product and production systems for mechatronic products.
Within the VireS joint project involving partners such as the University of Paderborn, the Heinz Nixdorf Institute in Paderborn, Wincor-Nixdorf and OCÉ, as well as Behr GmbH and Seuffer from the automobile industry, itemis is individually focusing on the specification tool that models the product and production system as well as the definition of required model structures.
The focus of the WieMod project is the reuse of simulation models. Simulation models are created using tools such as MatLab/Simulink, Modellica or Ascet and involve a considerable amount of work.
