Abstract
The combination of discrete event systems with 3D simulation and control technology seems to be at the first glance a contradiction in terms because of mixing up two totally different application classes. But here, the newly developed state oriented modeling methodology comes into play providing a comprehensive and flexible object oriented framework for the development of complex discrete event systems. State oriented modeling establishes a link between these two worlds using object oriented Petri nets for the discrete part as well as application specific mappings between continuous and discrete state variables. Integrated in a versatile 3D simulation system, state oriented modeling enables the efficient realization of a large class of applications ranging from industrial automation through a variety of new virtual reality applications up to controller synthesis for multi robot manipulator workcells.
