Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems (2018)
Presentation / Conference Contribution
Sanderson, D., Chaplin, J., & Ratchev, S. Common shared system model for evolvable assembly systems. Presented at Model-Based Enterprise Summit 2018

A vital aspect of distributed control in an adaptable production system is coherence between each system resource. The Evolvable Assembly Systems project addresses this challenge using a common shared system model. This paper provides an overview of...
