ASE – Advanced Systems Engineering


Topics and Focus

The mission statement ASE - Advanced Systems Engineering as the focus and namesake of the research group comprises three pillars:

  • Advanced Systems: The consideration of highly interconnected, complex, mechatronic systems and System of Systems (SoS)
  • Advanced Engineering: The exploration and use of new (digital) technical and work-organizational processes, methods and tools
  • Systems Engineering: As an approach to the interdisciplinary and consistent development of complex mechatronic systems

The research group's areas of expertise address these three pillars holistically. Essential aspects are:

  • MBSE - Model-Based Systems Engineering incl. methods, modeling languages and tool implementations.
  • IPEK-ASE-Framework for holistic, human-oriented and product generation crossing modeling of systems based on the model of PGE - Product Generation Engineering
  • Methods and modeling approaches to support product-production codesign
  • Research and development of methods and systems for validation of advanced systems as SoS
  • Research and development of strategies to exploit potential synergies or avoid potential conflicts in the interplay between systems engineering and agile product development
  • Research and development of strategies for MBSE-supported agile development of mechatronic systems
  • Human-oriented modeling to improve interdisciplinary collaboration in the analysis and synthesis of complex technical systems using purpose-oriented modeling languages such as SysML and the C&C² approach
  • Methods and interface descriptions for linking domain-specific and cross-domain models
  • Involvement in national and international working groups:
    • Advanced Systems Engineering Community (Link)
    • INCOSE – International Council on Systems Engineering (Link)
    • GfSE – Gesellschaft für Systems Engineering (Link)
IPEK-ASE-Framework
