Objective The goal of this study is to identify gaps and challenges related to cross-domain
model management focusing on consistency checking. Method We conducted a systematic …

The engineering of modern software-intensive systems is carried out in collaboration among
stakeholders with specialized expertise. The complexity of such systems often also …

Objective: The goal of this study is to present an overview of industrial and academic
approaches to cross-domain model management. We aim at identifying industrial and …

Current software engineering practices rely on highly heterogeneous and distributed teams
working in a collaborative setting. Between 2013–2020, the publication output in the field of …

Recent advances in design techniques promote the development of concurrent engineering
to reduce the time and cost of the design cycle. This is particularly necessary for mechatronic …

The perception of the value and propriety of modern engineered systems is changing. In
addition to their functional and extra-functional properties, nowadays' systems are also …

Requirements are often incomplete or imprecise. Especially when innovation is a
pronounced aspect of product development, sufficiently refined requirements can only be …

Inconsistencies between stakeholders' views pose a severe challenge in the engineering of
complex systems. The past decades have seen a vast number of sophisticated …

Valid models are central for credible simulation studies. If those models do not exist, they
need to be developed. In fact, entire simulation studies are often aimed at developing valid …

In model-based systems engineering, a system model is the central development artifact
containing architectural and design descriptions of core parts of the system. This abstract …
