A "dual language" component-based approach to the development of real-time critical applications is proposed. UML provides the constructs for modeling the structure of the system and the behavior of the system's components. A new descriptive language based on temporal logic, called OTL (Object Tempo

Abstract
Modeling languages intended for capturing essential properties of complex technical systems need to cover both software and physical components in a holistic framework. Objectβoriented modeling languages are often used for software, and possess many features that are attractive also in a general modeling notation for systems engineering. However, software oriented languages lack certain features that are essential when modeling physical components, in particular the ability to deal with the continuousβtime relationships needed to describe the dynamics of such components. In this paper, we investigate how the expressiveness of the Unified Modeling Language (UML) can be increased to make it suitable also for describing physical components. A case study of an automotive mechatronic system is elaborated to show the practical usefulness of the results. Β© 2002 Wiley Periodicals, Inc. Syst Eng 5: 165β179, 2002

Most of the usual studies on a sound insulation system were introduced from the deterministic viewpoint in the frequency domain. This paper presents for the first time a fairly simplified identification method applicable to the actual situation of a sound insulation system under the introduction of
