Verification of embedded system's specification using collaborative simulation of SysML and simulink models

Abstract

The authors propose an extension of SysML which enables description of continuous-time behavior. The authors also develop its execution tool integrated on Eclipse-based platform by exploiting co-simulation of SysML and MATLAB/Simulink. To demonstrate the effectiveness of the tool and the extension to SysML in verifying specifications of an embedded system, we create a sample model and analyze its execution results by checking constraints under a test case. © 2009 IEEE.
