Abstract

Simulink is widely used within industry for simulation and model-driven development, and reactive behaviours are often modelled using an add-on called Stateflow. Argos is one of the synchronous languages that have been proposed for the specification, validation and implementation of reactive systems. It is a rigorously defined graphical notation which, although not as powerful as Stateflow, is much less complicated. This paper describes the implementation of an Argos block for Simulink.
