Cover Story: Cyber-physical system complexity is increasing simultaneously with increased demands on quality and shortened time-to-market. To effectively support the development of such systems, we present languages and tools for comprehensive integrated model-based development that cover major phases such as requirement analysis, design, implementation, and maintenance. The model-based approach raises the level of abstraction and allows us to perform virtual prototyping by simulating and optimizing system models before building physical products. Moreover, open standards and open source implementations enable model portability, tool re-use and a broader deployment. In this paper, we present a general overview of the available solutions with a focus on Modelica/OpenModelica, Bloqqi, and Acumen and discuss the characteristics necessary for CPS modeling tools as well as future trends in CPS tool development.
