Abstract:
Design patterns capture named solutions to recurring challenges in development work. With an appropriate, non-restrictive tool support, design patterns could also improve the documentation value of models in model-driven development. This paper extends the design pattern modeling approach of UML Automation Profile with safety-related information and suggests the use of patterns in models to document safety aspects. The modeling concepts are tool supported. In the paper, the concepts are used for exporting safety-related documentation. The documentation can be used to guide the selection of development techniques as well as to perform consistency checks with respect to safety integrity levels that are required from modeled applications.
