Abstract
Today embedded system development is a complex task. To aid the engineers new methodologies and languages are emerging. During the development the system is modeled using different tools and languages. Transformations between the models are traditionally done manually. We investigate the automation of this process, specifically we are looking at automatic UML to SystemC transformation. In this paper we compare UML and SystemC, focusing on communication modeling. We also present mapping rules for automatic SystemC code generation from UML. The mapping has been implemented in our UML to SystemC code generator.
