Autonomous Model System for Lifecycle Contextual Research

New requirements are posed by industrial and commercial products which are operated by cooperating systems in organization of cyber physical biological structures against methodology of engineering causing essentially changes in it. As new contribution to research methods serving enhanced problem solution finding in this area, this paper proposes research environment which is organized within an engineering model system. Called as Experimental Research Support Model (ERSM), autonomous model system accommodates and integrates research procedures, processes, representations, management, and outside contexts in the course a research. ERSM is highly based on well proven engineering modeling platform which has comprehensive capabilities for the model system centered Integrated Lifecycle Engineering (ILE) of systems organized industrial and commercial products. This paper starts with relevant recent new concepts and characteristics in the field of the proposed research. Following this, the proposed concept and methodology regarding application of industrial engineering modeling platform at research in ERSM environment are explained. Next, ERSM as integrated media and new engineering communication for research is introduced and characterized and systems engineering related issues are briefed. Finally, the Virtual Research Laboratory (VRL) concept and structure are outlined.
