Identification of trends for model based development of embedded systems

Model Based System Engineering (MBSE) approach has been frequently put in to practice for the development of embedded systems in order to achieve the business objectives like productivity and time-to-market factors. However, the selection of appropriate UML profile for system modeling is a complicated process. Furthermore, it is also critical to apply the appropriate model transformation technique to get the desired outputs. Therefore, keeping in view aforesaid challenges, this paper investigates the usage of UML and its SYSML/MARTE profiles for embedded system development through Systematic Literature Review (SLR). In addition, various model transformation techniques have also been analyzed and presented. It facilitates the researchers and practitioners of the domain to discover the latest MBSE trends for embedded systems development.
