EWD: A Metamodeling Driven Customizable Multi-MoC System Modeling Framework

The authors present the EWD design environment and methodology, a modeling and simulation framework suited for complex and heterogeneous embedded systems with varying degrees of expressibility and modeling fidelity. This environment promotes the use of multiple Models of Computation (MoCs) to support heterogeneity and metamodeling for conformance tests of syntactic and static semantics during the process of modeling. Therefore, EWD is a multiple MoC modeling and simulation framework that ensures conformance of the MoC formalisms during model construction using a metamodeling approach.
