Abstract

Model-based systems engineering (MBSE) focuses on creating and exploiting multiple related models that help define, design, and document a system under development. The principal question about this approach concerns the level of association between these models. As our goal is a modeling of a system, we can assume that multiple models will form a tightly coupled suite, but in practice, partial models usually form a loosely bounded model kit. In this research we discuss two notions: model suite and model set, give them characterization based on mathematical theory.

The work was done within the framework of the state assignment (research topic: 065-2019-0014 (reg. no. AAAA-A19-119011590097-1).
