Abstract

The modeling and design of complex systems continues to face grand challenges in feedback and control. Existing languages and tools, either textual or graphical, bring some improvement for such purposes, but much remains to be done in order to readily insure scalability. In this chapter, we propose a language which gathers specialization and composition properties. It is our belief that the latter properties bear the necessary capabilities to overcome the difficulties raised when developing these systems. The language is designed in a way to be specific to complex system domains. It supports a component-based structure that conforms to a user-friendly component assembly. The proposed structure is based on static, dynamic, functional and parametric parts. It is conceived in the spirit of SysML concepts. The language also supports textual and graphical specification. The specified models generate Internal Block Diagrams. A modeling tool is built on the basis of the Eclipse framework.
