TADEM: A Ptolemy II Model Transformation Framework for Simulink

One of the main techniques used for the design of cyber-physical systems is the construction of simulation models. These models need to be tested on different tools to be validated. Due to changes in the development style and methodologies used, building the same model for different tools becomes costly in terms of time. Model Transformation facilitates this task and makes software development more efficient. In this way, this work proposes TADEM, a framework that contributes with an improved mapping for the semi-automatic transformation of models. For its validation, a single-case engine experiment was carried out in which the components of a clinical model created in Ptolemy II were semi-automatically mapped to components with similar functionalities of Simulink. The application of the framework allowed to reduce the model transformation time, considering the work of manually redoing it to be executed in the second tool.
