Black-box Integration of Heterogeneous Modeling Languages for Cyber-Physical Systems

Abstract

Abstract. Robots belong to a class of Cyber-Physical Systems where complex software as a mobile device has to fulfill tasks in a complex environment. Modeling robotics applications for analysis and code gen-eration requires modeling languages for the logical software architecture and the system behavior. The MontiArcAutomaton modeling framework integrates six independently developed modeling languages to model robotics applications: a component & connector architecture description language, automata, I/O tables, class diagrams, OCL, and a Java DSL. We describe how we integrated these languages into MontiArcAutomaton a-posteriori in a black-box integration fashion.
