Checking of Modeling Guide Lines for Simulink Models according to MAAB - Style Guide Checker
In model-based design, The MathWorks, Inc Simulink® software is widely used.
Models are often developed in teamwork, therefore it is important that all participants
follow given guidelines to avoid misunderstandings and increase the readability and
reusability of the models. For example in the automobile industry, common guidelines
are the (J-)MAAB guidelines.
As models can grow very complex, checking that guidelines are followed by hand can
be very cumbersome and erroneous. ecSTYLE checks the models to see whether
the models conform to a certain subset of the (J-)MAAB guidelines, and if possible, do
corrections automatically on user’s demand.
