Abstract
Complementing our previous publications, this paper presentsthe information schema constructs (ISCs) that underpin the programmingof specific system manifestation feature (SMF) orientated informationmanagement and composing system models. First, we briefly present(1) the general process of pre-embodiment design with SMFs, (2) theprocedures of creating genotypes and phenotypes of SMFs, (3) the specificprocedure of instantiation of phenotypes of SMFs, and (4) the procedureof system model management and processing. Then, the chunks of informationneeded for instantiation of phenotypes of SMFs are discussed, andthe ISCs designed for instantiation presented. Afterwards, the informationmanagement aspects of system modeling are addressed. Methodologically,system modeling involves (1) placement of phenotypes of SMF in themodeling space, (2) combining them towards the desired architectureand operation, (3) assigning values to the parameters and checkingthe satisfaction of constraints, and (4) storing the system modelin the SMFs-based warehouse database. The final objective of the reportedresearch is to develop an SMFs-based toolbox to support modeling ofcyber-physical systems (CPSs).
