Signature required: Making Simulink data flow and interfaces explicit
Introduce signatures for Simulink, as the true representation of a subsystem's interface. Signatures bring traditional software engineering practices into design with Simulink. Signatures improve model comprehension, and can be used to automatically document design interfaces. Signatures can be used in test harnessing to increase testing coverage and decrease testing effort. Signatures can be used to measure quality of Simulink designs and motivate transformations to improve design quality.
