PS3M: integrative Modelling Environment to support PSS design
Abstract
Despite lots of advances on PSS design methods over the past ten years, this paper states that their larger use in industrial context remains confronted to a lack of integration among the diversity of methods and tools available and among the variety of concepts covered by PSS design. The paper aims at presenting a modelling approach and tool dedicated to PSS design which intends to contribute to a higher integration, starting with a first level of conceptual integration. The P3SM tool is presented and its utilization is illustrated by a real industrial case study in the context of industrial robotics. A discussion on the added-value of the modelling approach and on further perspectives is developed.
