Abstract

In order for model-driven engineering to succeed, automated code generation from models through model transformations has to guarantee that extra-functional properties modelled at design level are preserved at code level. A full round-trip engineering approach could be needed in order to evaluate quality attributes of the embedded system by code execution monitoring/analysis tools and then provide backpropagation of the target code analysis results to modelling level. In this way, properties that can only be estimated statically are evaluated against runtime values and this consequently allows to optimize the design models for ensuring preservation of analysed extra-functional aspects. This paper presents an approach to support the whole round-trip process starting from the generation of source code for a target platform, passing through the monitoring of selected system quality attributes at code level, and nishing with the back-propagation of measured values to modelling level. The technique is validated against an industrial casestudy in the telecommunications applicative domain.
