Current limitations and a vision for the future

Current limitations

1. The computer algebra system (CAS) used to express the equations/relations defining system behavior assumes that port variables (in particular state variables) are represented by real numbers, rather than elements of some vector space or more generally of a Lie group/algebra
2. EPHS.jl is research software (prototype)

Advanced applications

More advanced applications, which would require that the implementation grows beyond the first limitation mentioned above:

• Exergetic port-Hamiltonian systems for multibody dynamics
• Energy-based, geometric, and compositional formulation of fluid and plasma models
