The SATURN Approach to SysML-Based HW/SW Codesign

Part of the Lecture Notes in Electrical Engineering book series (LNEE,volume 105)

Abstract

The main obstacle for the wide acceptance of UML and SysML in the design of electronic systems is due to a major gap in the design flow between UML-based modeling and SystemC-based verification. To overcome this gap, we present an approach developed in the SATURN project which introduces UML profiles for the co-modeling of SystemC and C with code generation support in the context of the SysML tool suite ARTiSAN Studio®. We finally discuss the evaluation of the approach by two case studies.
