Model-Based Development and
the Application of Abstraction Levels
Presentation
Slides (1.86 KB ppt)
June 19, 2003, 5:00-7:00 PM
Presented by Mr. David Lempia
Rockwell Collins
Advanced Technology Center
Advanced Computing
Systems
Interactive discussion on
models and model-based development, in particular the various
abstraction levels to which different system and software modeling tools
and languages can apply. Many people use the word model when talking
about requirements, UML, formal methods, or data flow tools like
Simulink. Is everything a model? This talk will propose 6 levels of
abstraction for a model. These levels span from requirements down to low
level software design. The 6 levels of model abstraction help developers
identify what part of a model they are working on and what some of the
key attributes of each of the levels are.
