The two-hemisphere modelling approach to the composition of cyber-physical systems

The Two-hemisphere model-driven (2HMD) approach assumes modelling and use of procedural and conceptual knowledge on an equal and related basis. This differentiates 2HMD approach from pure procedural, pure conceptual, and object oriented approaches. The approach may be applied in the context of modelling of a particular business domain as well as in the context of modelling the knowledge about the domain. Cyber-physical systems are heterogeneous systems, which require multi-disciplinary approach to their modelling. Modelling of cyber-physical systems by 2HMD approach gives an opportunity to transparently compose and analyse system components to be provided and components actually provided, and, thus, to identify and fill the gaps between desirable and actual system content.
