Architectural design of Real-Time and Embedded Systems must describe the system components (software and hardware) in a common and comprehensible manner to be understandable to several stakeholders involved in the development process. This article explores the combined adoption of a well-recognized methodology to activities of architectural system design, with the MARTE profile, considering non-functional annotations in model elements. The proposed approach aims to define a general and appropriate architectural viewpoint to the real-time and embedded domain. MARTE profile and SPES methodology are employed in modeling strategies in order to explore the requirements, services and systems components. In this paper, a case study in the automotive system domain is performed and the architectural viewpoints are able to represent functional and non-functional requirements, performance and temporal restrictions in the field of automotive systems at different levels of detail and abstraction.
