Fourth International Workshop on Functional Modelling for Design and Operation of Engineering Systems
September 23rd - 24th - Copenhagen, Denmark
The design and operation of complex engineering systems need highly advanced technologies to meet the requirements in systems engineering, process and control design, risk assessment and human-machine interaction. These technological fields have a common challenge: to represent the purposes and intentions of the system under investigation and to use them in design and operation. A promising approach for tackling difficulties in handling complex engineering systems is to model goals and functions of a system from the viewpoint of means and ends and to use the model in combination with structural and behavioural information of a system.
Call for Contributions
Participants were invited to submit an abstract for a presentation in relation to the following topics:
- Foundations, methodology and tools of functional modelling (FM)
- Causal reasoning based on FM
- FM applications for safety systems and risk management
- FM applications in operation support of engineering systems
- FM applications in engineering design for process plants, human-machine systems, etc.
- Resilient control systems and control system design
