An Evaluation of Automated Code Generation with the PetriCode Approach

Abstract. Automated code generation is an important element of model driven development methodologies. We have previously proposed an ap-proach for code generation based on Coloured Petri Net models anno-tated with textual pragmatics for the network protocol domain. In this paper, we present and evaluate three important properties of our ap-proach: platform independence, code integratability, and code readabil-ity. The evaluation shows that our approach can generate code for a wide range of platforms which is integratable and readable.
