Description
Summary:Model-Based Systems Engineering techniques used with descriptive metamodels such as NAF, SysML or UML shall often be associated with Operations Research techniques supporting the resolution of constraint-based problems. The link between to two universes is not obvious. This paper demonstrates how a seamless bridge can be created between a modeling tool and a black-box solver so to support the design of optimized systems. The paper focuses on the management of open sets of modeling elements, the functions applicable to those sets, and the way these features are used to declared and solve constraints based on end-users' ontologies. The proposal is refined with a technique to optimize the size of the constraint graphes which impacts the resolution time.
