HERAKLIT: modeling large computer-integrated systems

Wolfgang Reisig, Humboldt-University Berlin, Germany

Keynote Abstract

HERAKLIT is an initiative that aims at an integrated infrastructure to model large computer-integrated systems (such as business processes and cyber-physical systems) more intuitively, more meaningful and more usable than with previous modeling techniques.

We present a comprehensive case study to exemplify how HERAKLIT

  • copes with composition, refinement etc. of really large systems, by means of a universal, yet expressive and technically simple composition operator;
  • models behavior of composed modules, avoiding the notion of global states, that is unrealistic and inadequate for large systems
  • covers single instances of data, conventional data structures, as well as schematic representations of variants of data structures.
