This project will produce a tool‐supported methodology to unite live and exploratory modeling (LEM). In particular, scenarios such as the interactive use of live modeling in the context of the exploration and the efficient search for and comparison of several alternative model designs will be studied for the first time.

SOFIA – Multi-Platform Model Simulation of Heterogeneous Industrial Automation Systems
This project will create the technological foundation for platform-independent simulation of control software for distributed systems using an adaptive execution strategy. In the DSL standardized in IEC 61499, control software is implemented in platform-independent application models, while the hardware configuration is modeled in a system configuration model.
