Project Results
MODRIO
A pioneering project for CPS
EXECUTIVE SUMMARY
The objective of MODRIO is to extend modelling and simulation tools based on open standards from system design to system operation. The
major outcome is a holistic modelling and simulation framework for cyber-physical systems design, diagnosis and operation assistance.
PROJECT ORIGINS
Ever increasing social expectations and
stringent regulations concerning safety,
dependability and environment within a
global competitive market – this is the
context in which operators of power plants,
transportation systems and buildings need to
improve systems maintenance and operation
to comply with these new constraints while
improving their economic efficiency. For all
players, the multiplication of stakeholders
means that uncertainties are rising. A new Power production
approach should emerge to rigorously address
