      abstract     = {For the future development of automation technology the
                      enhanced collaboration of automation devices is important.
                      This is true for all phases of a plant, from planning to
                      production to maintenance, as well as for the horizontal and
                      vertical integration during the production. A lot of current
                      topics like “Industry 4.0” or “Cyber Physical
                      Systems” act on the assumption that engineering
                      information is available during the production phase, which
                      is not the case today. The dissertation addresses this
                      topic. Nowadays information is often stored not electronic
                      analyzable (e.g. as graphic) or accessibleonly by single
                      programs. So existing information is not accessible as far
                      as it could be. Models are acting as an important part: They
                      describe characteristics of a plant. Most of today’s
                      models are defined in an electronically representable and
                      evaluable format by their specification. So a computer could
                      host and provide these models as well as evaluate and use
                      them. If they are provided and used during the production
                      phase, dynamical changes are made possible, which is not
                      usually the case nowadays. Therefore, in automation
                      technology models are used for the description of different
                      topics. Topic-specific models are developed, that are
                      independent from each other and describe different aspects
                      of the domain of automation technology. In contrast attempts
                      to describe the whole domain of automation technology in one
                      model were not successful. Those models could not be widely
                      established since their adoption could not be achieved. This
                      could be due to the fact that models describing a whole
                      domain (“World-Models”) are not detailed enough to be
                      used for specific cases. So specific models were required to
                      be defined, which contradicts the purpose of whole domain
                      model. This work describes instruments without a centralized
                      model: Existing, heterogeneous models can be used in all
                      phases and levels of a distributed system like a plant in a
                      homogenous way. Therefore a distributed, dynamic,
                      model-driven execution environment is described. This could
                      be seen as a further development of existing technologies,
                      but is described independent of those. In this model-driven
                      execution environment parts of a model could be provided by
                      distributed devices. In a common way models are discover-
                      and query-able. Therefore, information could be stored in a
                      judicious place, that is defined by most frequent usage,
                      highest reliability or fastest availability. At the same
                      time such a model-driven execution environment provides for
                      the possibility of dynamic changes: Changes are established
                      in a collaborative way from different applications. For that
                      purpose transaction security as well as comprehensibility
                      (determinism) needs to be assured. Additionally, this work
                      describes the concept of interconnections of models: Parts
                      of models, which are designed independent of each other, are
                      put in relation. Interconnections are a special type of
                      relations not having dependencies at start- or endpoint.
                      This enables modeling of additional aspects, so
                      interconnections of models are models again. This
                      combination of instruments represents a distributed,
                      deterministic and dynamic model execution environment of
                      system structures. A requirement for this is a common used
                      metamodel as well as a complete understanding of the topic.
                      Models can be specified independent of each other. A model
                      execution environment will provide interfaces for querying
                      information and for making changes to all models.
                      Applications will be based on this. The overall result is a
                      solution, which makes the use of models feasible during all
                      phases of a plant - especially during production time. The
                      integration of the distributed models provides an
                      information-technology foundation for dynamic changes on
                      system architecture. This covers changes of plants due to
                      rebuilding as well as production orders.},
