  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.

  text: Executable UML models are nowadays gaining interest in embedded systems design.
    This domain is strongly devoted to the modeling of reactive behavior using StateChart
    variants. In this context, the direct execution of UML state machines is an interesting
    alternative to native code generation approaches since it significantly increases
    portability. However, fully featured UML 2.0 State Machines may contain a broad
    set of features with complex execution semantics that differ significantly from
    other StateChart variants. This makes their direct execution complex and inefficient.
    In this paper, we demonstrate how such state machines can be represented using
    a small subset of the UML state machine features that enables efficient execution.
    We describe the necessary model transformations in terms of graph transformations
    and discuss the underlying semantics and implications for execution.
