EU's FP7 SATURN project delivers UML/SysML-based hardware/software co-design solution based on Artisan Studio - January 6th 2010.

By bridging the gap between modeling, verification and synthesis, of hardware and software in UML/SysML-based designs, SATURN will demonstrate a significant reduction in time-to-market for embedded systems,” said Paul Whiston, Project Manager for Artisan Software Tools. “This is being delivered through the combination of SysML and MARTE as a platform to integrate these models with a run-time environment for cross-domain verification as well as the automatic generation of both hardware (SystemC) and embedded software (C/C++) components. The integration of these different abstraction layers will allow seamless integration at functional and target architecture levels. At this mid-point in the project we have delivered an initial version of the complete tool chain, from design to implementation on the target hardware with optional simulation.”
