Parameterized Partial Orders for Modeling Embedded System Use Cases: Formal Definition and Translation to Coloured Petri Nets
Nikola Trčka, Marc Voorhoeve, Twan Basten · 2011
Model-driven Design-Space Exploration (DSE) for embedded systems has proven to speed up system design and improve quality. Parameterized Partial Orders (PPOs) are a simple yet powerful conservative extension of classical partial orders. They serve as an intermediate representation in our Octopus tool set, allowing to capture applications from different domains and enabling analysis with various tools. We present PPOs, their translation to Coloured Petri Nets, and their use in DSE for a printer case study.
