  text: The Unified Modeling Language (UML) is now widely accepted by the software
    community. More recently, UML has attracted attention as a unification language
    for systems description combining both hardware and software components. First,
    it has been recognized that electronic systems design can no longer be seen as
    an isolated hardware design activity. In addition, recent advances in tools supporting
    high level hardware synthesis from electronic system level languages, which are
    predominantly based on C/C++, open new perspectives for automatic code generation
    from UML models and opportunities to enhance the link between a high level specification
    and a concrete hardware/software implementation. Finally, UML has become a general
    purpose language which can be customized for specific purposes, such as the modelization
    of electronic systems. This chapter presents recent advances of the UML language
    applied to System-on-Chip (SoC) and hardware-related embedded systems design.
    In particular, several examples of specific UML customizations (UML profiles)
    relevant for SoC design are summarized. Various approaches associating UML with
    existing hardware/software design languages are presented. The question of tool
    support and association with well-known simulation environments, such as MATLAB/Simulink,
    is addressed as well. A concrete example of a UML profile for hardware/software
    co-modeling and code generation for hardware/software co-simulation is presented
    in more details for illustration purposes.
