IDDMBSE: Integrating Data-Driven and Model-Based Systems Engineering for Trusted Autonomous Cyber-Physical Systems
Autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS) lie at the intersection of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and data-driven ML/AI, but no integrated methodology spans both. IDDMBSE extends the MBSE V-process with a data-driven loop at every step, using SysML and a hybrid architecture. The open-source tool chain includes PERFECT, TRADES-X, and VERITAS. Demonstrated on a ground robot across development lifecycle tasks. Being reformulated on SysML v2/KerML for tighter integration.

Abstract:Autonomous cyber-physical systems (CPS) sit at the intersection of Model-Based Systems Engineering (MBSE) and data-driven Machine Learning and Artificial Intelligence (ML/AI), yet no integrated Systems Engineering (SE) methodology natively spans both. We address this gap with IDDMBSE, an Integrated Data-Driven and Model-Based Systems Engineering methodology that extends the rigorous MBSE V-process with a data-driven loop at every step, anchored in SysML, the autonomy stack, and a hybrid model-based plus data-driven trade-off architecture. We instantiate IDDMBSE as an interoperable, open-source tool chain: PERFECT, which maps SysML system architectures to executable ROS autonomy stacks for scalable performance evaluation; TRADES-X, which decomposes design-space exploration into a model-based optimization stage followed by a data-driven evaluation stage; and VERITAS, which combines formal, data-driven, and runtime verification into a single assurance workflow. We demonstrate IDDMBSE on a Trusted Autonomous Ground Robot across its development lifecycle, spanning sensor-suite selection, risk-sensitive path planning, behavior-tree task verification, conformal-prediction-based robust perception, and assured multi-robot coordination, all exercised in a contested-terrain Isaac Sim test range that we release with the tool chain. We close by sketching how IDDMBSE is being re-formulated on SysML v2 / KerML foundations to enable language-native composability and tighter ML/AI integration.
