Abstract:
Based on systems engineering principles, information modelling is seen as a central activity for the development and life cycle support of a product or system. It enables to reduce the costs derived from miscommunications and misconceptions normally occurring throughout the service system design, analysis and maintenance activities. Supporting the servitization of manufacturing and the evolution towards product-service systems or extended products, modelling and interoperability is becoming of utmost importance to ensure coherence among conceptual design phases at organizational levels down to technology development. Therefore, this paper explores the model-driven development and model-driven interoperability transformations principles to unify every step of the development of service systems, from its start at the application's business requirements, through the design of technology independent functions, to deployable services.
