WONKA: An Ontology-Aided Model-Based Systems Engineering Analysis for Early V&V on Heterogeneous Systems and Applications

This research is undertaken as part of the EU-funded EnerMan project aiming at improving the energy sustainability of manufacturing systems. In such a large project, with 22 partners over 10 countries, a first challenge addresses the collaborative design of an energy management system (EnMS) for the improvement of energy sustainability, while offering the flexibility and agility necessary for the diversity of the industrial cases studied and the partners involved. In a second stage, industrial use cases are generally too constrained to easily proceed to the verification and validation (V&V) of the scientific approaches tackling their challenges. In this context, our research contributions consist of methodologies and automated approaches to: (i) ensure the consistent collaborative integrability of developments, in a sustainable manufacturing context, and (ii) perform the verification and validation of such contributions on multiple systems, assessing their scalability on heterogeneous systems, environments, and missions in a V&V context.
