Model-based development aims at reducing the complexity of software development by the pervasive use of adequate models throughout the whole development process starting from early phases up to implementation. In this paper we present a conceptual framework to holistically classify developed models along different levels ...

Model-based development (MBD) is adopted in practice in different degrees. A prerequisite for building a new generation of tools for model-based development of embedded systems is to gain an overview over their current use and the needs of the industry. In this paper, we present the results of an empirical study-that we ...
