“…The methodology handles both the hardware architecture with the hardware-dependent software (HdS) components and the (hardwareindependent) application software. To foster the methodology in a systematic and seamless way and combine all involved notations together, in Riccobene et al [2007b] a design process, called unified process for embedded systems (UPES), is concisely presented as extension of the conventional unified process (UP) 2 [Arlow and Neustadt 2002]. UPES includes a subprocess, called unified process for SoC (UPSoC), for the hardware refinement flow.…”

This article summarizes our effort, since 2004 up to the present time, for improving the current industrial Systems-on-Chip and Embedded Systems design by joining the capabilities of the unified modeling language (UML) and SystemC/C programming languages to operate at system-level. The proposed approach exploits the OMG model-driven architecture-a framework for Model-driven Engineering-capabilities of reducing abstract, coarse-grained and platform-independent system models to fine-grained and platform-specific models. We first defined a design methodology and a development flow for the hardware, based on a SystemC UML profile and encompassing different levels of abstraction. We then included a multithread C UML profile for modelling software applications. Both SystemC/C profiles are consistent sets of modelling constructs designed to lift the programming features (both structural and behavioral) of the two coding languages to the UML modeling level. The new codesign flow is supported by an environment, which allows system modeling at higher abstraction levels (from a functional executable level to a register transfer level) and supports automatic code-generation/back-annotation from/to UML models.

“…all software that is directly dependent on the underlying hardware-and the (hardware-independent) application software. In [33], we presented the development process unified process for embedded systems (UPES), as an extension of the well-known software engineering unified process (UP) [2] from the authors of the UML, to foster our design methodology. UPES includes a subprocess, called the unified process for SoC (UPSoC), which combines all involved notations together in a systematic and seamless manner for the HdS refinement flow.…”

Model-based development (MBD) aims at combining modeling languages with model transformers and code generators. Modeling languages, like profiles of the Unified Modeling Language (UML), are increasingly being adopted for specific domains of interest to alleviate the complexity of platforms and express domain concepts effectively. Moreover, system development processes based on automatic model transformations are widely required to improve the productivity and quality of the developed systems. In this paper, we show how MBD principles and automatic model transformations provide the basis for the unified process for embedded systems (UPES) development process and its unified process for system-on-chip (SoC) (UPSoC) subprocess. They have been defined to foster in a systematic and seamless manner a model-based design methodology based on the UML2 and UML profiles for the C/SystemC programming languages, which we developed to improve the current industrial system design flow in the embedded systems and system-on-chip area.Keywords Model-based development (MBD) · Model transformations · Unified modeling language (UML) · SystemC · Embedded system design This work is supported in part by the project Model-driven methodologies and techniques for embedded systems design and analysis based on UML, Abstract State Machines, and SystemC at STMicroelectronics, AST R&I of Agrate
