  • Reusing Static Analysis Across Di Erent Domain-Specific Languages
    Reusing Static Analysis across Dierent Domain-Specific Languages using Reference Attribute Grammars Johannes Meya, Thomas Kühnb, René Schönea, and Uwe Aßmanna a Technische Universität Dresden, Germany b Karlsruhe Institute of Technology, Germany Abstract Context: Domain-specific languages (DSLs) enable domain experts to specify tasks and problems themselves, while enabling static analysis to elucidate issues in the modelled domain early. Although language work- benches have simplified the design of DSLs and extensions to general purpose languages, static analyses must still be implemented manually. Inquiry: Moreover, static analyses, e.g., complexity metrics, dependency analysis, and declaration-use analy- sis, are usually domain-dependent and cannot be easily reused. Therefore, transferring existing static analyses to another DSL incurs a huge implementation overhead. However, this overhead is not always intrinsically necessary: in many cases, while the concepts of the DSL on which a static analysis is performed are domain- specific, the underlying algorithm employed in the analysis is actually domain-independent and thus can be reused in principle, depending on how it is specified. While current approaches either implement static anal- yses internally or with an external Visitor, the implementation is tied to the language’s grammar and cannot be reused easily. Thus far, a commonly used approach that achieves reusable static analysis relies on the trans- formation into an intermediate representation upon which the analysis is performed. This, however, entails a considerable additional implementation effort. Approach: To remedy this, it has been proposed to map the necessary domain-specific concepts to the algo- rithm’s domain-independent data structures, yet without a practical implementation and the demonstration of reuse.

While these tools are efficient, their individual The aims of this article is to demonstrate the value of sub-component models and solvers cannot be accessed by the users for modification. One of the main goals of the FP7 iTesla Modelica as a convenient language for modeling of complex project [1] is to perform model validation, for which, a modelling physical systems containing electric power subcomponents, and simulation environment that provides model transparency to show results of software-to-software validations in order and extensibility is necessary. 1 To this end, a power system to demonstrate the capability of Modelica for supporting library has been built using the Modelica language.

  • Modelica: Equation-Based, Object-Oriented Modelling of Physical Systems
    Chapter 3 Modelica: Equation-Based, Object-Oriented Modelling of Physical Systems Peter Fritzson Abstract The field of equation-based object-oriented modelling languages and tools continues its success and expanding usage all over the world primarily in engineering and natural sciences but also in some cases social science and economics. The main properties of such languages, of which Modelica is a prime example, are: acausal modelling with equations, multi-domain modelling capability covering several application domains, object-orientation supporting reuse of components and evolution of models, and architectural features facilitating modelling of system architectures including creation and connection of components. This enables ease of use, visual design of models with combination of lego-like predefined model building blocks, ability to define model libraries with reusable components enables. This chapter gives an introduction and overview of Modelica as the prime example of an equation-based object-oriented language. Learning Objectives After reading this chapter, we expect you to be able to: • Create Modelica models that represent the dynamic behaviour of physical components at a lumped parameter abstraction level • Employ Object-Oriented constructs (such as class specialisation, nesting and packaging) known from software languages for the reuse and management of complexity • Assemble complex physical models employing the component and connector abstractions • Understand how models are translated into differential algebraic equations for execution 3.1 Introduction Modelica is primarily a modelling language that allows specification of mathematical models of complex natural or man-made systems, e.g., for the purpose of computer simulation of dynamic systems where behaviour evolves as a function of time.

Eine besondere Herausforderung sind hierbei auf vernetzte Recheneinheiten verteilte Softwarefunktionen, welche in Rückkopplung mit physikalischen Prozessen stehen.
