Overview • Aspects of Software Engineering • State of the Art in SE for ES • Selected Topics • ARTiSAN • ROOM • ObjecTime • Octopus • Summary
Software Engineering for Embedded Systems • Process = Number of Steps + Guiding Path • Formalism – Notation – Diagram Class, State, Sequence, Timing, Concurrency, System Architecture, Port Notation • Tool Support Editors, Repositories, Simulators, Synchronization, Round-Trip / Reverse Engineering, Version Control
State of the Art • UML for Real-Time • Within RTAD (part of OMG), companies are working on UML-RT, but standard is NOT FINISHED • Concrete tools by different vendors use home-brewed recipes: • I-Logix - Rhapsody • ARTiSAN - Realtime Studio • ObjecTime / Rational - ObjecTime Developer Rose Realtime • … • Other Methodologies • SE methods developed in pre-UML era • Recently OO-ified and UML-ified • Room integrated in Rose Realtime • Octopus Octopus/UML • …
ARTiSAN’s UML for Real-Time • Focus: Extending UML-notations to accommodate needs of embedded systems design • Process • Modeling requirements (Use Cases, Interaction Diagrams) • Modeling architecture (Class, State, Concurrency, ...) • Extra’s • System level concurrent task design • Support for HW/SW co-design • Discussion • RT constraints described with non-formal comments, with limited tool support • Limited resource constraints
System Architecture Diagram Solution Architecture Mapping Deployment Diagram System Architecture Diagram
ROOM • Developed for telecommunication systems, defines process + notations • Process • Standard software process, with focus on iterative development • Extra’s • Port Notation • Formal approach with controlled gaps allows for round-trip engineering • Simulators: all models can be executed • Discussion • Continuity of concepts across development process • Support for expressing real-time constraints ? • No resource constraints
ObjecTime’s UML for Real-TIME • Combination of UML, role modeling and ROOM concepts • Discussion • Freestyle mapping of ROOM diagrams on UML • Round-trip engineering becomes difficult • see ROOM
Octopus • Focus on development method, not on notation • Method • Requirements Specification • System Architecture Analysis • System Increment Subsystems Development • Performance Analysis • Extra’s • Hardware abstraction • Discussion • No resource constraints • Realistic use of timing diagrams • Very orchestrated process
