Massif - the love child of Matlab Simulink and Eclipse
Download as PPTX, PDF0 likes862 views
Massif is a tool that integrates Matlab Simulink models with the Eclipse development environment. It provides import and export functionality for Simulink systems and libraries, representing them as EMF models in Eclipse. Massif has various import strategies and allows manipulating and navigating Simulink models directly as EMF resources. It also features an OSLC API to dynamically execute queries on Simulink models. The presentation provided an overview of Massif's architecture and capabilities and discussed experiences using it for avionics and automotive projects.
