METHOD FOR STRUCTURING HARDWARE INFORMATION BY USING AN MOF-BASED HCML

PURPOSE: A structuralization method of hardware information using an HCML(Hardware Component Modeling Language) based on an MOF(Meta Object Facility) is provided to effectively define a hardware profile for embedded software development based on MDD(Model Driven Development) by providing the HCML for itemizing a hardware profile used in MDD based model conversion. CONSTITUTION: A TIM(Target-Independent Model) which is independently comprised in hardware is modeled. Hardware information is structured by using an MOF based HCML. The TIM is converted into a TDM(Target-Dependent Model) by using the structured hardware information and a model conversion language. The hardware information defines a meta model of the MOF based HCML, a model based on the meta model of the HCML, and expresses structure information for the model.
