TLDR
The IEC 61499 modeling language pursues a component-based approach with modular building blocks coupled by ports and arranged in a hierarchical manner as discussed by the authors, but it does not define how functional hierarchies of upper-and lower-level functional entities should be built.Abstract:
The IEC 61499 modeling language pursues a component-based approach with modular building blocks coupled by ports and arranged in a hierarchical manner. Like similar approaches, the IEC 61499 language does not define how functional hierarchies of upper- and lower-level functional entities should be built. In this paper we outline structuring principles for IEC 61499 programs with purely hierarchical control architectures. We present elementary design guidelines for structuring automation solutions in several hierarchical layers, outline which elements of the IEC 61499 language to use, discuss patterns that arise when implementing hierarchical control solutions, and illustrate the approach with a case study.read more

An Axiomatic Design of a Multiagent Reconfigurable Mechatronic System Architecture
Amro M. Farid,Luis Ribeiro +1 more
TL;DR: This paper is the first multiagent system reference architecture for reconfigurable manufacturing systems driven by a quantitative and formal design approach and is rooted in an established engineering design methodology called axiomatic design for large flexible engineering systems and draws upon design principles distilled from prior works on reconfigurability measurement.

Statecharts: A visual formalism for complex systems
TL;DR: It is intended to demonstrate here that statecharts counter many of the objections raised against conventional state diagrams, and thus appear to render specification by diagrams an attractive and plausible approach.

Model-integrated mechatronics - toward a new paradigm in the development of manufacturing systems
TL;DR: This paper proposes an architecture that promotes model integration not only for implementation space artifacts but also in artifacts of the early analysis and design phases of the development process, which promotes reuse and significantly decreases development and validation time.
