Knowledge Representation in Modeling and Simulation: A survey for the production and logistic domain

Recently, ontologies and semantic data technologies have increasingly come back into the focus of research due to the emerging use of knowledge graphs. However, even though the modeling and simulation community has recognized the potential of using this technology for the modeling process, for example for automatic model generation, adaptation or to represent simulation expert knowledge, a general and reusable approach for the aforementioned purposes is still missing. Therefore, in this paper a state of the art review for using knowledge representation during modeling and simulation processes of complex technical systems is conducted, such as factories or process plants with specific focus on the production and logistic domain. Based on that, requirements and benefits of knowledge graphs in this specific domain are evaluated.
