  text: UML 2.0 provides a rich set of diagrams for systems documentation and specification.
    Much effort has been undertaken to employ different aspects of UML for multiple
    domains, mainly in the area of software systems. Considering the area of electronic
    design automation, however, we currently see only very few approaches which investigate
    UML for hardware design and hardware/software co-design. We present an approach
    for executable UML closing the gap from system specification to its model-based
    execution on reconfigurable hardware. For this purpose, we present our abstract
    execution platform (AEP), which is based on a virtual machine running an executable
    UML subset for embedded software and reconfigurable hardware. This subset combines
    UML 2.0 classes, state-machines and sequence diagrams for a complete system specification.
    We describe how these binary encoded UML specifications can be directly executed
    and give the implementation of such a virtual machine on a Virtex II FPGA. Finally,
    we present evaluation results comparing the AEP implementation with C code on
    a C167 microcontroller.
