“…The approaches in [9] and [10] cope with direct code generation by taking the UML model as an XMI (XML Metadata Interchange) file for translation to SystemC. In [11], the authors presented a UML/SystemC profile for SystemC code generation from UML structural and Statecharts diagrams. In [12], the authors proposed a UML/MDA approach called MoPCoM methodology that permits automatic SystemC and VHDL code generation from UML models and MARTE profile by means of MDA techniques.…”

In this paper, we present our approach for automatic SystemC code generation from UML models at early stages of Systems On Chip (SOC) design. A particularity of our proposed approach is the fact that SystemC code generation process is performed through two levels of abstraction. In the first level, we use UML hierarchic sequence diagrams to generate a SystemC code that targets algorithmic space exploration and simulation. In the second level of abstraction, messages that occur in sequence diagrams are implemented using UML activity diagrams whose actions are expressed in the C++ Action Language (AL) included in the Rhapsody environment from which a full SystemC code is generated for both simulation and synthesis.

Recent embedded systems and SOCs design is confronted with the problem of the socalled productivity gap. In order to cope with this problem, authors emphasize on using UML as a system level language, so higher level of abstraction is achieved. However UML in its current form has not yet achieved the maturity necessary to enable its efficient use within current embedded systems and SOCs CAD environments. Consequently a proper tuning of UML to the specificities of such systems has became mandatory. To meet this requirement, many UML profiles have been proposed by both academia and industry. On the other hand enhancements included in UML2.0 has increased UML opportunities to model embedded systems. UML2.0 is qualified to be a component-based which is more suitable for hardware modeling. In this paper we review and compare the most known UML2.0 profiles for embedded systems and SOCs. For each profile, we try to show its defined stereotypes and the corresponding design flow if it exists. We use some objective criteria to highlight the benefits and the pitfalls of each profile.

“…Due to this reason, CMOS technology without any doubt has now emerged the most common approach for the design of both infrared and visible range sensors that in turn finds enormous applications in the domain of MSP. Based on this features, it has been found that most of the mixed signal processing based industrial applications are still dependent on CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) technology as compared to CCD approach [2][3][4][5][6][7][8]. …”

Abstract-The CMOS based sensor design technology has evolved with tremendous applications in MSP domain with enhanced characteristic of maximized S/N ratio. This feature has been obtained with the utilization of pixel-based amplification in addition to minimizing the presence of the noise at the output of the device. It means that the noise present in the various active device of the system has been suppressed with the help of SoC based design technique i.e. three level pixel implementation. This system basically supports all the SoC components such as feedback amplifier, buffers, tapered reset device, etc. The CMOS based smart system has both software as well as hardware modules which in turn behave as a complete system on chip (SoC) and has got tremendous use in mixed signal based applications. The main application fo this system is in the computational analysis of the various images captured from the real world. The author present a novel approach of implementing a smart system based on SoC design approach with required performance in the domain of mixed signal processing. The simulation of the system has been carried out on LabVIEW with optimum results desired. Some the result has been carried with mathematical modeling based approach using MatLAB software. The minimum S/N ratio of the system is 55 dB with 1920 X 1080 frame readout at 550 Hz. Keywords: CMOS sensor, HDTV, FPA, CCD, APS, SoC, LabVIEW, MatLAB, PID algorithm, MSP, CCD.I. INTRODUCTION The advent of the sensor dependent image processing technology has come into existence late back to 1970's with the use of MOS devices. The functioning of this system primarily depends on the utilization of array of image sensors which in turns rely on the proper functioning of the array of CCD technology so as to provide better and enhanced quality imaging arrays. With further advancement in this technology i.e. with the availability of CMOS based smart sensors, the analysis of the image becomes quite simple, cost effective, enhanced accuracy of the results. In this system, CMOS readouts with millions pixel capacity are used in addition to the detector arrays with the help of flip chip fabrication technology i.e. the most important feature of a SoC design based system. The above fig 1 shows the schematic arrangement i.e. crossectional view of the CMOS sensing system.The system on chip design based systems are normally follows the Moore's Law which utilized CMOS technology so as to produce higher performance sensors in various range of visibility. Due to this reason, CMOS technology without any doubt has now emerged the most common approach for the design of both infrared and visible range sensors that in turn finds enormous applications in the domain of MSP. Based on this features, it has been found that most of the mixed signal processing based industrial applications are still dependent on CMOS Image Sensors (CIS) technology as compared to CCD approach [2][3][4][5][6][7][8].
