Further research projects dealt with the model-based development of product management systems, the integrated specification of mechatronic products and production systems, the reuse of simulation models and the creation of model repositories. Research partners were the Dortmund University of Applied Sciences , the Westphalian Wilhelms University of Münster, the University of Paderborn , the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology in Karlsruhe, the German Aerospace Center with headquarters in Cologne and the University of Leipzig .
