The purpose of the Control Systems WG is to foster the availability and suitability of OMG specifications in relation with the construction of distributed control systems. The technology needed falls more-or-less inside RTESS scope, but the CSWG is basically domain oriented but with a cross-cutting approach (manufacturing, utilities, aerospace, automotive, C4I, transport, etc). Of major importance are the relations with: AD, MARS, Systems Engineering, MDA and Simulation.
