An Ontology-Based Approach to
Supporting Decision-Making in
Cyber-Physical Systems: A Production
Process Scenario
Cyber-physical systems in manufacturing have the ability to deeply integrate physical
manufacturing processes with virtual management processes and foster adaptive and
exible manufacturing. CPS development requires knowledge in many diu000berent disciplines
which increases complexity. To reduce the complexity, model-based approaches
are employed to gain a better understanding of the reality. While humans are able
to interpret incomplete or unstructured models, machines demand models that represent
formal knowledge such as ontologies. Ontologies provide formal semantics to any
sort of information, introducing new prospects for information retrieval. Some research
has proven the usability of ontologies in cyber-physical systems and manufacturing.
However, human-interpretable and machine-interpretable models are mostly separated,
which causes consistency issues. Also, existing modeling languages might not be expressive
enough to address specifc domains, such as manufacturing. An approach to solve
both issues is the Agile and Ontology-Aided Modeling Environment (AOAME), which
is based on ontology-based metamodeling. Hence, the contribution of this thesis is to
build on AOAME's approach to create an ontology-based domain-specifc model which
can be exploited to support decision-making for domain experts in manufacturing.
