Several design patterns are defined to make systems more flexible and extensible. The main goal of this work is to show how the representation of these kinds of patterns, which we refer to as ...

This paper analyses a leading-edge Set-top Box (STB) design for architecture reference patterns. Specifically, the following contributions are made: (i) identifying and documenting (in UML) STB ...

This article looks at some of the abstractions in a new profile of UML, the RT-Profile, which particularly affects software design for real-time use. Included in the paper are a set of patterns that ...

In the latest years, the usage of UML to describe complete systems, including SoCs [1], has been increased. In trend with this line, this work proposes a methodology, based on UML, for SoCs designing ...

Soon you’ll be able to take advantage of elaborated interfaces and ports, interaction fragments and operators, plus better modeling of behavior over time. DESIGN VIEW is the summary of the complete ...

Design patterns constitute a fundamental component in the architecture of software systems, providing standardised and reusable solutions to recurring design challenges. Originating from seminal works ...

The job of the EJB developer is constantly challenging, making the task of designing maintainable and scalable systems difficult without a clear set of best practices to follow. It is with this and ...

LONDON — Axilica Ltd. (Loughborough, England), is introducing an EDA tool called FalconML that helps take engineers from UML descriptions of systems down to SystemC descriptions and to FPGA or ASIC ...
