Collaboration with the Faculty of Industrial Engineering and Management
Project Goals and Outputs • Advancing modeling and simulating methodology for autonomous systems by demonstrating modeling and simulating of a ground autonomous system conceptual design. • A simulated conceptual model of the autonomous system to support understanding and validating the complex relationships between the needs and the designed autonomous system solution. • a potential common language as means for improving communication and mutual understanding of the system-to-be (as a large number of stakeholders are involved in developing systems of this nature).

OPM as a basis for CMSAS What is OPM? OPM is a holistic approach to the study and development of systems OPM unifies the system’s structure and behavior within a single frame of reference, using a relatively small vocabulary Designed for systems engineering from the outset Conceptual Modeling and Simulation of Autonomous Systems
The Key to OPM: Telling processes from objects and modeling them concurrently conceived reality modeled reality Object Vehicle is a Aircraft Is modeled by is a Car Bus Is modeled by Energy Replenishing affects Gas Filling is Is modeled by Process The model expresses real things – objects and processes – and relations among them.

Demonstration Case Study The demonstration case study is TALOS, an EU 7th Framework Program project, whose objective is to develop and field-test a mobile, modular, scalable, autonomous and adaptive border protection system. TALOS – Transportable Autonomous patrol for Land bOrder Surveillance system Within FP7 EU programs
EU 7th Framework Programme (Priority: Security) • Category – Integrated Project (IP) • Budget – 20 mln Euro • EC contribution – 13 mln Euro • Duration: 2008 – 2012 • Objective –develop and field test the innovative concept of a mobile, modular, scalable, autonomous and adaptive system for borders protection • Result – technology demonstrator TALOS – Transportable Autonomous patrol for Land bOrder Surveillance system Within FP7 EU programs
