IWFM 2020

Fifth International Workshop on Functional Modelling for Design and Operation of Engineering Systems

26th-28th October - Online Workshop hosted by Technical University of Denmark & Okayama University, Japan

The workshop will be held online this year, using the Microsoft Teams platform. Participants will receive a link after registration.

Chairman
Prof. Morten Lind - Technical University of Denmark (DTU)

Theme
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.

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

Contribution
The workshop organisers now invite contributions from all researchers and industrial partners. Please submit an abstract of the content you would like to present at the workshop. You can find the abstract template in the Downloads section.
