Method for situation-based modeling and simulation of assembly systems

This paper presents our on-going research steps aiming at the development of a method for situation-based modeling and simulation of assembly systems. The focus lies on the employed modeling language and the modeling procedure as well as their integration into the whole method. After motivating the research the overall approach will be introduced to constitute on overview. In the following the modeling language used in this approach and the conceived modeling procedure will be described in detail. This paper concludes with a roadmap that defines the next steps and activities.
