Design of Distributed Real-Time System Architecture Description Language and a Case Study of its Application
Junmin Ye · Mini-micro Systems · 2005
In order to accomplish distributed real-time system testing based on software architecture, an architecture description language (ADL) needs to be designed to describe the system under testing, so that the architecture description specifications can be used to generate testing cases automatically. On the basis of reviewing existing ADLs and analyzing their inadequacies, a new distributed real-time system architecture description language (DRTSADL) is proposed in this paper, the syntax and operation semantics of DRTSADL are studied. And the application of DRTSADL is illustrated through a distributed real-time front-end system instance description. Compared with the existing ADLs, the new ADL is more effective in describing distributed real-time system.
