Abstract
ECBS (Engineering of Computer Based Systems) provides frameworks of architecture principles to model perceived environments in which CBS (Computer Based Systems) must be embedded and the functionality of CBS as discrete event systems and to model physical CBS as service-oriented systems. In addition it contains frameworks for process models with precise guidelines to perform all engineering steps required to build these models and to integrate and operate CBS as well as frameworks for information models with precise guidelines what information has to be captured within an ECBS process to establish the documentation for a complete and consistent information base.
OSA-PLUS (Open System Architecture — Platform with Universal Services) provides frameworks with precise guidelines to architect system platforms as basic building blocks for a base-line physical component infrastructure. In addition it contains frameworks with precise and generalised guidelines to architect services conform with the architecture in terms of both basic services for intelligent actuation, measurement, and feedback control, men/machine interaction, and data storage and retrieval for a base-line functional component infrastructure, as well as specific application services. It also contains guidelines to architect general tools to support the ECBS processes and dedicated tools which must go along with all services to support CBS integration, test, validation, operation.
Together, ECBS and OSA-PLUS form one coherent framework for open CBS development and operation.
