Formal United System Engineering Development (FUSED) Language

Abstract : The goal of this program was to develop a new extensible system representation metal-language, which we named the Formal United System Engineering Development (FUSED) language, to specify complex relationships between models written in multiple languages at multiple levels of abstraction and used by developers from many disciplines for many purposes during a concurrent development process. Our approach was to leverage the enormous investment in the great variety of existing domain-specific modeling environments by creating a language that would complement these existing ones. FUSED is a language to compose collections of models written in these various languages in a way that they can be used in a synergistic, verifiable, multidisciplinary, model-based development activity.
