On the Generation of Full-fledged Code from UML Profiles and ALF for Complex Systems

Modern software systems are becoming more and more complex thus demanding for new powerful development mechanisms. Model-driven engineering has been recognised as a promising paradigm for the development of complex systems especially for its capability of abstracting the problem through models and then manipulating them to reach the implementation. In this work we provide a solution for the problem of automatically generating target code from models expressed in CHESS-ML, a UML profile that leverages the Action Language for Foundational UML. The goal is to produce code that does not require any manual intervention after its automatic generation to be executed on the target platform. Focus is on the generation of complex systems targeting both single and multi process deployment configurations as well as different execution platforms.
