Synchronous languages are well-established for the design of embedded, in particular safety-critical systems. One of our research areas concerns the further development of such languages and their efficient compilation. Specifically, we explore the paradigm of "sequential constructiveness" for reconciling familiar, imperative programming concepts with the sound grounding of synchronous languages. One language we have developed to try out and validate our concepts is the SCCharts language, which keeps evolving and thus offers many opportunities for student theses.

SCCharts Modelling & Transformations

  • SCCharts Verification (Master/Bachelor)
    Add the possibility to perfom model checking on SCCharts
  • Raceyard evaluation (Master)
    Evaluate the possibility for the use of SCCharts in the Raceyard context and pave the way for future experiments
  • Causality Visualization
    Visualizing causality and scheduling problems in the diagram to guide the modeller

SCCharts Code Generation & Optimizations

...

  • Visualization of Model-based Simulation via Tracing (Bachelor/Master)
    Use the already implemented Model-to-Model-Tracing in KIELER to visualize simulations. 
  • Core SCCharts Interpreter with dynamic Scheduling (Master/Bachelor)
    Implement an Interpreter for Core SCCharts .

Model-based C Code Compilation

  • Incremental Model-based Compilation of Legacy C Programs (Bachelor/Master)
    Modify the model-based compiler in KIELER so that it is able to compile C to (S)CCharts incrementally.that supports SC Policies.
  • Live Debugging of Statecharts (Master/Bachelor)
    Implement a dedicated debugging view for SCCharts.
  • Microstep-Simulation of Statecharts (Master/Bachelor)
    Implement a method to do microstep simulation with SCCharts.

Model-based C Code Compilation

  • Execution of Recursive Dataflow Code (Master/Bachelor)
  • Execution of Concurrent Dataflow Code (Master/Bachelor)
    Modify the model-based dataflow compiler in KIELER so that it is able to compile recursive/concurrent C programs.
    For Master students: Implement both.
