Abstract
In this paper, we propose a framework for modeling of logistic systems with an emphasis on model transformation. Due to the complexity of logistic systems, their models are bound to consist of many heterogeneous components on various descriptive levels from the requirement definition to the platform-specific implementation. To cover these phenomena in a comprehensive way, our approach provides two main concepts: First, we introduce logistic models that may be the combination of a variety of component models, which in turn may be of different types, i.e., they may be specified by means of different modeling methods. Second, we offer model transformations that allow to translate logistic models of one type into logistic models of another type whenever needed (for example, to bridge the gap between visual platform-independent models and textual platform-specific models or to facilitate the interaction of component models of different types).
