Generating simulation models from UML - a FireSat example
Article No.: 25, Pages 1 - 8
Abstract
The use of graph-based design languages in UML for complex system design is motivated. The FireSat mission from literature is modeled in different UML classes representing the systems, subsystems and parts of the satellite. A rule-based creation mechanism for the instances is shown along with an executable activity diagram for the definition of the design sequence. The generation of simulation models is demonstrated in the field of geometry (in OpenCascade), thermal simulation (in Esatan-TMS) and behavioral analysis (in Matlab-Simulink). The paper closes with an illustration of the flexibility in the generation design variants. based on design languages.

An Approach to Verifying Security and Timing Properties in UML Models
ICECCS '10: Proceedings of the 2010 15th IEEE International Conference on Engineering of Complex Computer SystemsIn this paper, we present an approach to verify whether a UML design model satisfies its domain-specific security and time-related requirements in an integrated tool environment. This approach is based on a UML metamodel extension mechanism given as ...
A New Approach for Generating LOTOS Specifications from UML Dynamic Models
C3S2E '15: Proceedings of the Eighth International C* Conference on Computer Science & Software EngineeringThe use of UML Statechart and Communication diagrams for modeling dynamic behaviors of systems is very widespread. UML diagrams support developers by means of visual conceptual illustrations. However, the lacks of firm semantics for these diagrams make ...
