Abstract

The development of Cyber-Physical-Human Systems which are pervasive today as proposed by the Industry 4.0 vision, requires an efficient integration of the systems definition which is modelled within the Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) applications with the models representing the detailed design and analysis of these products, which are generally embedded in Product Life Cycle Management (PLM) systems. In this paper, we are presenting an overview of some of the important initiatives on this topic across the IFIP 5.1 community, and also projecting a future outlook based on promising new approaches to this emerging problem of MBSE and PLM integration.
