Model-Based Testing with ComMA 2023

Manually writing test cases takes a lot of time in software development projects. Modelbased testing is a promising approach to automate most of this work by generating tests from models. This, however, shifts the problem to the creation of these models. In the research described here, we investigate the use of existing ComMA models which already have been constructed to describe and analyse software interfaces and component constraints.

Guided root cause analysis of machine failures - Status 2023

Today’s complexity of high-tech systems makes diagnosing system failures a tough task for service engineers. Increasing product variability and fast market introduction of new generation systems prohibit the expertise build-up that served service engineers in the past. Traditionally, system knowledge is transferred to the service organization through service manuals and training.

Estimating the Energy Consumption of Applications in the Computing Continuum with iFogSim

Digital services - applications that often span the entire computing continuum - have become an essential part of our daily lives, but they can have a significant energy cost, raising sustainability concerns. The computing continuum features multiple distributed layers (edge, fog, and cloud) with specific computing infrastructure and scheduling decisions at each layer, which impact the overall quality of service and energy consumption of digital services.

Systems Engineering Education: From Learning Program to Business Value

Published in
Systems, 11(510)
The complexity of delivering business value is increasing technically and socially. The increasing complexity triggers the need for an increase in systems competence in several roles within the technical domain. One of the core disciplines to focus on this competence is systems engineering, which gets increasing attention within the Dutch ecosystem to enhance individuals and organizations further in this competence.

Compositional Performance Prediction for Tightly Coupled Manufacturing Systems

In this report, we have described a domain model for the timing behaviour of production systems consisting of multiple connected units. The domain model consists of four domain-specific languages: The Material language specifies the materials to be handled by a production system and the operations that can be performed on these materials.
