Komponentenorientierte Wissensdarstellung mit COMODEL

The COMODEL project is aimed at developing a component oriented language for the description of technical systems and prototyping an experimenting environment for the task of modelling technical systems. The COMODEL language is intended to be used in the areas of diagnosis of technical systems and interpretation of technical processes. In COMODEL an associate network represents technical and physical knowledge about a real system by means of a structural description of components and aggregates together with a functional description of underlying concepts and physical properties. An instantiation mechanism generates a network from the associative network, describing the dependencies between physical properties of a real system or of a part of it. The instantiation is controlled by distinct view parameters and results in a behavioral description of the concrete system under a distinct viewpoint.
