Abstract
Developing CPS is challenging: Cross-domain collaboration and cross-generational design pose fincancial risks for manufacturers, as different engineering models can become inconsistent to each other in the development process. Existing apporaches fail to ensure consistency within and across system generations. Our research addresses this issue by combining mechanical and software engineering approaches. We present a methodology using a brake system research platform to identify challenges and solutions in CPS development. The objective of our research is to formalize changes between generations of CPS and to develop algorithm-based consistency analysis methods. In the long term, we aim to facilitate cross-domain consistency management and create a systematic framework for CPS development.
