Abstract = {Matlab/Simulink is a wide-spread tool for model-based design of embedded systems. 
Supporting hierarchy, domain specific building blocks, functional simulation and automatic 
code-generation, makes it well-suited for the design of control and signal processing systems. 
In this work, we propose an automated 
translation methodology for a subset of Simulink models to Synchronous dataflow Graphs (SDFGs) including the automatic code-generation of SDF-compatible embedded code. 
A translation of Simulink models to SDFGs, is very suitable due to Simulink actor-oriented 
modeling nature, allowing the application of several optimization techniques from the 
SDFG domain. Because of their well-defined semantics, SDFGs can be analyzed at compiling 
phase to obtain deadlock-free and memory-efficient schedules. In addition, 
several real-time analysis methods exist which allow throughput-optimal mappings of 
SDFGs to Multiprocessor on Chip (MPSoC) while guaranteeing upper-bounded latencies.  
The correctness of our translation is justified by integrating the SDF generated code as a 
software-in-the-loop (SIL) and comparing its results with the results of the 
model-in-the-loop (MIL) simulation of reference Simulink models.
The translation is demonstrated with the help of two case studies: a Transmission 
Controller Unit (TCU) and an Automatic Climate Control.}
