Abstract:
The Smart Grid is the leading example when talking about complex and critical systems. Model Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) represents an appropriate approach for the mastery of this complexity. However, achieving full traceability between the model of a system and the concrete implementation is still an open issue. For this, Model Driven Development (MDD) is proposed. Hence, the development of a general middleware framework, which comprises a well-defined, customized architecture and provides accurately elaborated interfaces, would probably facilitate the Model Based Approach in a decisive manner. Thus, the present work addresses the development of a versatile architecture framework, the FRee EDucational Open System ARchitecture (FREDOSAR), which also includes an open source implementation. Due to the criticality of systems like the Smart Grid, Security by Design is another central aspect of this architecture development process. For evaluation, the applicability of the framework
is finally verified by the implementation of several case studies based on FREDOSAR, focusing on the quality attributes mentioned.
