Enhancing Modelica towards variable structure systems

This paper explains the motivation behind variable structure systems and analyses the current Modelica language with respect to those concerns. The major flaws and shortcomings are discussed to raise the awareness for the most relevant problem sets. Furthermore we sketch our current research activity in broad terms and explain our approach that consists of a new modeling language. Finally, a small example is presented.
