Era of Behavioral Modeling in Product Lifecycle Management System: State of the Art Survey

Dynamic behavior analysis is the area of investigation in the product lifecycle management (PLM) system. Behavioral modeling approach of a system is used to define dynamic behavior of a system. There is a big list of modeling approaches proposed by the researchers of various disciplines to simplify the analysis of system so that it is used as standard for system development in the real world. The cyber-physical system (CPS) is the next generation of system where the physical system acts smartly with the power of computing. Therefore, modeling of CPS is gaining popularity in the industrial design. This paper starts with the discussion of behavioral modeling era of a system and CPS respectively. Then, the survey of the state of the art of system behavioral modeling and CPS behavioral modeling is provided in which most of the approaches are reviewed PLM system. The system modeling survey is conducted based on the work done in the late 20th century to the recent years of 21st century. The CPS modeling survey is conducted based on the work done in the recent years of 21th century as this technology and modeling approach is emerging. Based on the discussion and survey, conclusion and future work will be explained.
