Design and life time support of complex systems, such as adaptive CPS, require analysis and exploration of multiple viewpoints that can be done only by sync combination of many domain specific tools and corresponding models.
In this tutorial we explore different approaches for models and tools orchestration and interoperability, focusing on CERBERO Intermediate Format (CIF) and consistent definition and evaluation of different system layers and metrics over corresponding tools, levels of abstraction, system life-cycle, etc.
The proposed methodology and supporting framework are currently researched and developed in EU Horizon 2020 project CERBERO (www.cerbero-h2020.eu/).
