Modeling system

Abstract

Disclosed herein are techniques for generating textual descriptions of a graphic model and vice-versa. The techniques may be used, for example, in conjunction with a scheme that models objects and processes as independent entities. The techniques have a wide variety of applications including automatic code generation, system simulation, and language translation.

       35 . A computer-implemented method of architecting, engineering, lifecycle support and/or modeling of a system, the method comprising: 
 receiving an input specifying textually requirements of the system;    modeling the system using meta-libraries containing metamodels for domain-specific artifacts as templates for standardized design;    linking the requirements to elements of a model of the system;    receiving feedback on coverage of the requirements by the model;    simulating the model of the system qualitatively and quantitatively;    modeling one or more tests for accepting the system;    automatically generating one or more test scripts related to said one or more tests;    feeding one or more test inputs to the system being modeled and feeding results back to the model;    receiving feedback relating quality of the system;    based on the model, computing one or more costs and one or more risks associated with the system; and    automatically generating documentation and one or more courses of action for one or more parameters of the system at one or more stages of the system lifecycle.
