Abstract

The combination of Unified Modeling Language (UML) and SystemC has led to an object-oriented high-level design automation methodology. In this paper, a novel bi-directional UML-SystemC translation tool UMLSC is proposed. Specifically, a set of principles for modeling SystemC design in UML and an algorithm for UML-SystemC bi-directional translation are addressed. The principles and the algorithm are integrated into UMLSC, which provides a smooth link between visual specification, implementation and verification. An implementation example is given to verify the effectiveness of the proposed principles and the algorithm.
