Automatic Translation from UML to Simulink CAAM Using Graph Grammars

The increased amount of software in embedded systems allied to constraints as tight time-to-market and lower costs have motivated the investigation of strategies to manage embedded software design and its complexity. UML and Simulink are considered attractive for the embedded domain, a fact that motivates researchers to aim at finding a way to exploit the benefits of both languages. This paper proposes an automatic translation from UML diagrams to Simulink CAAM models, allowing designers to use UML as modeling language and to use facilities for simulation and code generation based on Simulink.
