Abstract
In the automotive domain software developers are confronted with steadily increasing complexity of models in MATLAB/Simulink. To assist developers with complexity handling, we suggest automatic analyses resulting in special views on Simulink models, e. g. to visualise dependencies of model parts. To this end, we present (1) a modelbased approach based on the Eclipse Modeling Framework (EMF) and model transformations and (2) an alternative approach applying a central database combined with MATLAB/Simulink and Java functionality. We compare the approaches with each other especially in terms of scalability and efficiency.
