Automated Prototyping Data and Knowledge Translation

Author-contributed print itemThis paper describes the transfonnations used to produce an executable prototype from a very high level description of a software system in a computer-aided prototyping process. The high level description can include real-time constraints, which are difficult to treat using conventional compiler technology. The prototyping system uses two different sets of transfonnations, one for realizing data flow diagrams and the other for realizing hard real-time constraints. The transfor- mations are implemented with the aid of an automatic translator generator
