Modelling of Cyber-Physical Systems through Domain-Specific Languages: Decision, Analysis, Design

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate computational algorithms and physical components, requiring sophisticated modelling techniques to address complex interactions and dynamics. This paper explores the creation of Domain-Specific Languages (DSLs) tailored for CPS, focusing on the initial three critical phases: decision, analysis, design. We present four key aspects to address in the decision phase, design an ontology as a domain model for the analysis phase, and collect some advice for the design phase. By systematically addressing these phases, we provide a comprehensive framework for developing DSLs that can efficiently model CPS, facilitating improved design, verification, and deployment of these intricate systems.
