ACSmt: A plugin for eclipse papyrus to model systems of systems.

While System of Systems (SoS) architectures for large and complex software projects are gaining momentum, the commonly used modeling and tooling approaches are still general-purpose or oriented towards single systems. Developers could benefit from methods and tools that avoid system-centric details in favor of native SoS modeling support. This paper presents a diagram-centric modeling tool with native SoS modeling support. The tool is implemented as a plugin for the Eclipse Papyrus modeling tool. The tool was showcased as a demo at MODELS'22. The code of the plugin is freely available via Github. • The Abstract Communicating Systems (ACS) methodology can support designing complex platforms based on Systems of Systems. • ACS was mapped on UML 2.5, and ACS modeling tool (ACSmt) is the first tool implementing the ACS methodology. • ACSmt is implemented as an Eclipse Papyrus plugin, which supports UML 2.5 and is well-accepted in the industry. • ACSmt allows for verifying structural properties of the designed SoS. • The open source code of ACSmt can be used as reference when implementing plugins for Papyrus.
