1Experimental Results should contain technology demonstration(s) and address the following:

  1. Tool benefits to development process
  2. Tool interfaces (inputs, outputs) and integration with other tools
    1. In nearly every case it seems necessary to manually translate OEP models (written in Simulink/Stateflow or Teja) into "tool-native" input language - solutions?
    2. In the cases where the different analysis tools have common objective (eg. schedulability, code generation, verification) how do you suggest we compare outputs of different tools?
    We hope your thoughts will seed the subsequent "joint discussion" segment of the meeting.
