Integration of domain-specific models into a MDA framework for time-critical embedded systems
Pablo Sánchez, Javier Barreda, Jorge Ocón · 2008
The Model-Driven Architecture initiative (MDA) of the Object Management Group (OMG) proposes a development paradigm that can be used to deal with the increasing complexity of real-time embedded systems. MDA is based on developing both platform independent and specific models from which executable code can be generated in an automatic or semi-automatic way. In most cases, engineers use Domain-Specific Models to describe the system and the challenge is to integrate these specific models into a general MDA methodology. Sometimes, the MDA infrastructure includes applications that can evaluate the real-time system performance, an essential aspect of the time-critical embedded system design.
