The Generic Modeling Environment

The Generic Modeling Environment (GME) is a con- figurable toolset that supports the easy creation of d o- main-specific modeling and program synthesis environ- ments. The primarily graphical, domain-specific models can represent the application and its environment includ- ing hardware resources, and their relationship. The mod- els are then used to automatically synthesize the applica- tion and/or generate inputs to COTS analysis tools. In addition to traditional signal processing problems, we have applied this approach to tool integration and struc- turally adaptive systems among other domains. This pa- per describes the GME toolset and compares it to other similar approaches. A case study is also presented that illustrates the core concepts through an example.
