Abstract
This paper presents the StateML + tool aimed at designing state-machines and automatically generating thread-safe and multi-tasking modular Ada code from them, following a Model-Driven Engineering approach. The StateML + meta-model is an extension of a previous version, and now it offers improved modeling capabilities, which include regions and macro-state definition. In this paper, a case study regarding the design of a robotic system will be used to demonstrate the benefits of the proposed approach.
This research has been funded by the Spanish CICYT project MEDWSA (TIN2006-15175-C05-02) and the Regional Government of Murcia Seneca Program (02998-PI-05).
