Abstract

Currently the development of automatic control system is mainly based on manual design. This has made the develop-ment process complicated and has made it difficult to guarantee system requirement. This paper presents a Model in-terpretation development architecture built on meta-models and model interpretation. In this modeling and developing process, different meta-models or domain models may be constructed in terms of various system requirements. Inter-preters are used to transform the meta-model into relevant domain model and generate some other formats from do-main models, typically with different semantic domains. An interpretation extension interface is introduced, which can be accelerated to develop the model interpreter. This development architecture can improve system reusability and en-hance development efficiency. Finally, an example is introduced to explain the advantage of method.
