“…Activity diagrams are commonly used in the field of business or information flow design [7,8], as well as in the behavioural design of software and systems embedded in concurrent hardware and software [9]. The designed systems are usually a set of activities performed by external actors or internal states [10].…”

Unified Modeling Language (UML) is a standardised Object Management Group (OMG) notation among software engineers. There have been many attempts to design alternatives to UML. Recently, new notations such as Business Process Model and Notation (BPMN) and Decision Model and Notation (DMN) have been proposed for modelling processes and decisions. These dedicated notations provide a simpler way of capturing functional requirements in a designer-friendly fashion. Moreover, some concepts as rules cannot be directly modelled in UML. Our research considers a method of translating business models such as BPMN and DMN into a set of consistent UML models, which can be later used by business analysts and developers to understand and implement the system. As a single notation design, it allows the user to take advantage of software supporting UML modelling and consistency checking, in addition using such translation can provide additional insights into OMG business models. Furthermore, the design provided in a single notation can be easier to follow and develop. This approach supports also visualisation of rules. It is important to mention that the proposed solution does not extend any custom UML artifacts and can be used with standard UML tools.

“…The most widely known solution is the hardware-related extension of C++ called SystemC [16]. SystemC is a class library making it possible to describe the hardware and software parts of the design in the exact same language environment (traditional C++ with additional pre-defined macros) and the SystemC simulation kernel is able to co-simulate them.…”

With the dawn of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) the relevance of System-on-Chips equipped with run-time configurable, application-specific macrocells increases as numerous tasks has to be taken over from the microprocessors in order to Keywords ARTL, AMDL, CPS, SoC, microarchitecture, RTL design IntroductionIn the recent decade the most spectacular change in the field of digital system design has been the rise of the design entry's abstraction level and the usage of automated methods in the early stages of the design process. This is caused by the ever-increasing time-to-market and time-on-market pressure which has become one of the most important design objectives nowadays. With the dawn of the Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrating physical processes and computation systems directly influencing each other via feedback loops, a huge amount of possible applications emerged and, since the development platforms and tools are very efficient and widely known, the development time has become the key factor on the common market [1,2,3].Because of these characteristics of the backend application requirements, the central data processing hardware components of these systems [4, 5] mainly comprise pre-designed, optimized, and pre-verified macrocells and the focus of digital design shifted to the high level methods used for integrating these components into functionally complete, intelligent systems [6][7][8][9].The foresaid demand for a fast development process in the application area implicitly places major demands upon the computation capacities of the underlying SoCs as well: The intelligence of the CPS applications is usually provided by the software environment running on an embedded microprocessor. These software applications tend to be more and more complex, therefore, the significance of the operating systembased runtime environments is also increasing, even in small designs. Similarly to the hardware development, the tool chains of the application software products are also based on the increasing abstraction (interpreted scripting languages, virtual machines etc.) requiring microprocessors with impressive computation capacities. Moreover, CPS applications are typically real-time systems necessitating predictable computation delays. This predictability is mainly handled by outsourcing the timing-critical tasks to application-specific, highly configurable Intellectual Property (IP) cores instead of performing them in software running on an Instruction-Set Processor (ISP) [10][11][12][13]. Since the overall characteristics of SoCs, such

“…These also involve the use of scientific principles and theories for the evaluation, estimation and resuscitation of several factors aimed at the sustenance of the inherent activities within the system [10]. Some of the frequently used mathematical analytical methods are: Petri-Net [14] , Data Flow Diagram (DFD) [24], [25], Integrated definition(IDEF) [26], Event-driven Process Chain (EPC) [27], extended Event-driven Process Chain (eEPC) [28], [29],Role Activity diagram(RAD) [ 13], Unified Modelling Language (UML) [30], [31] and Business Process Modelling Notation (BPMN) [32].…”

A business process model is very germane to the formation of an appropriate information system. For a marked infusion of business processes in the supply chain, the status quo regarding the processes must be totally understood and well secured. Business activities and sequence have to be well kept and properly coordinated by predicting business procedures process from diverse views. This study examines seven BPMLs Data Flow Diagram (DFD), Unified Modelling Language (UML), Business Process Modelling Notation(BPMN), Event Driven Process Chain (EPC), IDEF, Petri Net, and Role Activity Diagram (RAD). The submissions of this study are the subject of the Business Process Modelling Languages (BPMLs) in developing an integrated dissemination mechanism and classification of modelling tools.
