Abstract :
UML has attracted significant interest as a system description language. However, some aspects of embedded system behavior are difficult to model in UML. In particular, applications with significant dataflow components are not well represented. This paper considers how the synchronous dataflow model can be integrated with UML to provide behavioral descriptions, in an object-oriented context, for system elements that perform stream processing. The integration of the SDF model with the UML state machine model is also discussed.
