Data-driven system modelling in the system generation engineering

This work develops a method to integrate operational data into system models following MBSE principles. Empirical analysis reveals significant obstacles to data-driven development, including heterogeneous and non-transparent data structures, poor metadata documentation, insufficient data quality, lack of references, and limited data-driven mindset. A method based on the RFLP chain links operating data structures to logical-level elements. Data analyses are aligned with specific requirements or functional/physical elements, enabling systematic data-driven modeling. This method improves efficiency, fosters system knowledge development, and connects technical systems with operational data.
