基于模型的工程（MBE）旨在通过在开发过程中使用模型作为重要工件来提高工程的有效性。虽然有关于MBE在工业中的使用和效果的实证研究，但针对嵌入式系统领域的研究很少。我们通过对MBE在该特定领域的使用和评估的实证研究，为知识体系做出了贡献。本研究的目的是评估当前的实践状态和嵌入式系统领域由于MBE的缺点而面临的挑战。我们通过在线调查收集了113名受试者的定量数据，其中大多数是与MBE合作的专业人士。收集的数据涵盖了MBE的不同方面，例如使用的建模语言、工具、符号、引入MBE的效果或MBE的缺点。我们的主要发现是，嵌入式系统领域的大多数参与者都使用MBE，主要用于模拟、代码生成和文档。据报道，MBE的积极作用是提高质量和改进可重用性。主要的缺点是MBE工具之间的互操作性困难，开发人员的高培训工作和可用性问题。我们的研究为当前的工业实践提供了有价值的见解，并可以指导系统建模和嵌入式系统领域的未来研究。
Model-based engineering (MBE) aims at increasing the effectiveness of engineering by using models as important artifacts in the development process. While empirical studies on the use and the effects of MBE in industry exist, only few of them target the embedded systems domain. We contribute to the body of knowledge with an empirical study on the use and the assessment of MBE in that particular domain. The goal of this study is to assess the current state-of-practice and the challenges the embedded systems domain is facing due to shortcomings with MBE. We collected quantitative data from 113 subjects, mostly professionals working with MBE, using an online survey. The collected data spans different aspects of MBE, such as the used modeling languages, tools, notations, effects of MBE introduction, or shortcomings of MBE. Our main findings are that MBE is used by a majority of all participants in the embedded systems domain, mainly for simulation, code generation, and documentation. Reported positive effects of MBE are higher quality and improved reusability. Main shortcomings are interoperability difficulties between MBE tools, high training effort for developers and usability issues. Our study offers valuable insights into the current industrial practice and can guide future research in the fields of systems modeling and embedded systems.
