Abstract
The paper describes a model-driven method of systems integration using legacy models. The method defines relationships between elements of legacy models to produce an implicit ontology of a subsystem. The implicit ontologies of subsystems to be integrated are then related to a conceptual interaction model which describes the requirements for joint action among the subsystems. In the discussion, we illustrate the similarity of our process to what systems engineers do now when performing systems integration.
