Abstract: The reported research responds to a gap in the Product Creation Process, between the subprocesses of Requirements Engineering and System Architecting by means of product modelling. Here an empowerment of the Requirements Engineering (RE) is proposed, by combined structural- and behavioural-wise modelling of multidisciplinary components for embedded systems. The paper motivates and specifies demands for a formalised component model, as modelling notation and workflow, and gives hints for its syntax and semantics; however, besides stating requirements for the semantics, the proposed framework leaves free the choice of a formalism to be applied. It is also explained how this multidisciplinary system-level model interoperates with established monodisciplinary tools and engineering methodologies. An underlying message of this paper is that all relevant structural and behavioural aspects for modelling embedded products at system level can be captured by one generic component model.
