Action languages for unified modeling language model

A method comprising:

• importing, by one or more processors, in a text-based format, a model that describes software or a system in a modeling language into a graphical modeling environment,
• wherein the modeling language does not define a formal, executable semantic capable of describing a dynamic behavior of the software or system, and
• wherein the model comprises model components;
• generating, by the one or more processors, executable elements, in the graphical modeling environment, that represent the model components,
• wherein at least some of the executable elements comply with standards of a domain or a platform, and
• wherein the domain or platform comprises CORBA, CORBA-RT, Advanced Architecture Description Language (AADL), AUTOSAR, Software Communication Architecture (SCA) as defined by the Department of Defense, or one or more derivatives of any one of the above;
• generating, by the one or more processors, an executable model in the graphical modeling environment,
• the executable model comprising the executable elements and corresponding to the model that describes the software or system;
• and
• updating, by the one or more processors, the model that describes the software or system, based on changes made to the executable model;
• or
• updating, by the one or more processors, the executable model, based on changes made to the model that describes the software or system.

A system comprising:

• one or more processors to:
• import, in a text-based format, a model that describes software or a system in a modeling language into a graphical modeling environment,
• wherein the modeling language does not define a formal, executable semantic capable of describing a dynamic behavior of the software or system, and
• wherein the model comprises model components;
• generate executable elements, in the graphical modeling environment, that represent the model components,
• wherein at least some of the executable elements comply with standards of a domain or a platform, and
• wherein the domain or platform comprises CORBA, CORBA-RT, Advanced Architecture Description Language (AADL), AUTOSAR, Software Communication Architecture (SCA) as defined by the Department of Defense, or one or more derivatives of any one of the above;
• generate an executable model in the graphical modeling environment,
• the executable model comprising executable elements and corresponding to the model that describes the software or system;
• and
• update:
• the model that describes the software or system based on changes made to the executable model, or
• the executable model based on changes made to the model that describes the software or system.
