Abstract

Developing complex cyber-physical systems (CPS) demands a variety of disciplines like engineering, software development, economics and legislation to effectively communicate with each other. Enabling this interdisciplinary communication is a challenge that can be tackled with the use of a model-based systems engineering approach in combination with domain-specific modeling languages. In domain-specific modeling frameworks that implement these approaches, however, research reveals an oversight: an insufficient consideration of legislation disciplines. Since regulations have a significant impact on CPS, omitting their incorporation early on during development can significantly delay deployment and lead to exponentially rising development costs. This position paper advocates for a compliance-by-design approach through the early integration of legal requirements into domain-specific architecture frameworks. By bridging the gap between technical and legislative disciplines, the interdisciplinary development of CPS is enhanced, not only ensuring the technical robustness of the systems but also regulatory compliance. This results in mitigating development risks, especially avoiding pitfalls of costly adaptions to the system due to late-stage integration of legal considerations.
