High-performance embedded computing is developing rapidly since applications in most domains require a large and increasing amount of computing power. On the hardware side, this requirement is met by the introduction of heterogeneous systems, with highly ...

In Model-Driven Engineering, executables are generated from domain-specific modelling languages (DSMLs) through two steps: generation of program code in a third-generation programming languages (3GLs, like C++ or Java) from a model, and compilation of ...

Model-driven engineering is gaining popularity for the engineering of reliable software that can be validated more easily. Unfortunately, automatically generated software is often far from being as computationally efficient as carefully handcrafted ...

Due to the increasing complexity of software systems, model-driven engineering has been introduced to shift the developer's focus from machine-centric program code to human-centric models of the software under development. In model-driven approaches, ...

The fUML allows creating models by using a subset of UML diagram elements. This approach has the benefit of keeping the execution engine simple, but it is sometimes limiting, as it does not permit to specify certain advanced constructs such as loops in ...

Reverse engineering is still a challenging process, notably because of the growing number, heterogeneity, complexity, and size of software applications. While the analysis of their structural elements has been intensively investigated, there is much less ...

Within a given modeling platform, modeling tools interoperate efficiently. They are generally written in the same general purpose language, and use a single modeling framework (i.e., an API to access models). However, interoperability between tools ...

For developing software systems it is crucial to consider non-functional properties already in an early development stage to guarantee that the system will satisfy its non-functional requirements. Following the model-based engineering paradigm ...

Model-based engineering is becoming a de facto paradigm for designing complex systems and software. By being executable, models are easier to understand, as well as systems they abstract. UML is the most natural choice for modeling. fUML is an ...

With the widespread of the Model-Driven Development (MDD) and surfing on the success of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), software development is shifting from being code-centric to model-centric. Models become the key artefacts in the software ...

The behavioural semantics of a Domain Specific Language (DSL) are the instructions on how to execute the language. In practice, such semantics are often documented by text, which leads to ambiguity and tool generation problems. Although some formal ...

Today's market is filled with a variety of simulation solutions for discrete-event simulation, but each one has its own meta-model. A conversion between these meta-models is complicated or even impossible. In some cases this is intended by the vendor of ...
