This paper is a contribution to concepts and methodologies of context definition in
Engineering Model System (EMS). Change for contextual modeling was important paradigm
shift in engineering at beginning of this new century. By now, EMS is a very complex
model because it is required to serve all engineering activities during lifecycle
of an engineering achievement (EA). In an EMS, the structure of contexts serves integration
as glue. An EA is the objective of an engineering program and generally is an industrial
or commercial product. Four new concepts and methods were introduced during the work
for this paper with the requirement of their integration in EMS namely the Integrated
Lifecycle Engineering (ILE), the Integrated Autonomous Model System (IAMS), the Reactive
Context Structure (RCS), and the Integrated Research Project (IRP). ILE organizes
research intensive engineering activities to support connection between essential
engineering and relevant modeling software platform (MPS) activities. ILE includes
fundamental and problem solving research in new context. IAMS is based on formerly
published EMS concepts and includes new specifics. In the center of IAMS, enhanced
structure of context definitions and their organization constitute glue in the demanded
complex model. IAMS is characterized as an enhanced media for engineering communication.
RCS serves as integrated unit of IAMS to enhance context driven reactive communication.
In this way, IAMS includes two ways reactive context driven connection between IAMS
and the physically operated Cyber Physical Biological System (CPBS) it represents.
IAMS serves as digital twin of CPBS. The above new concepts and methods are suitable
to develop as user defined components in EMS using MPS resources. IRP is introduced
as a specific integrated application of ILE, IAMS, and RCS, concentrating on PhD student
research specifics.
