An Approach to Requirement Analysis in Automated Production Systems

Abstract

Automated production systems (aPS) involve different disciplines, like mechanical and software engineering. Evolution has to be seen as a repetitive activity in these systems. Complexity of hardware and especially software is constantly rising and demands for automated solutions, as change propagation analysis by hand is slow and error-prone. In this paper, we present an approach to automatically calculate change propagation based on requirement changes in aPS.
