چکیده

The increasing complexity of real-time embedded systems requires appropriate methods and techniques to support the development including the specification and analysis of different architectural aspects. A large number of architectural description languages (ADL) have been proposed with varying focus and application domains. There is a need for harmonization of these ADLs. This can be from develoloping and understanding of how they differ or could be synergistically combined for increasing the overall development efficiency and fulfilling the ever increasing functional and non-functional requirements on a system. This paper addresses this issue and focuses on four different ADLs: EAST-ADL, AUTOSAR, AADL and Rubus. In this work we compare these ADLs, identify possible usage scenarios involving more than one ADL and discuss some of the underlying challenges. A representative industrial case study of a brake-by-wire system is used to support the work. Keywords-Architecture description language (ADL); AADL, EAST-ADL, AUTOSAR; Rubus; Complexity management; embedded systems; model transformation.

Executable Specifications for Real-Time Distributed Systems

One of the challenges in designing distributed, embedded systems is the paucity of formal, executable specification notations that provide support for both real-time and asynchronous communication. This paper describes a timed architecture design language (Timed Architecture Interaction Diagrams or TAID) that, by virtue of its formal, executable semantics, combines the benefits of synchronous s...

Future study of Description System Architecture Approaches with Emphasis on Strategic Management

Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existing or to be created) called systems, in a way that supports reasoning about the structural properties of these objects. Systems Architecture is a response to the conceptual and practical difficulties of the description and the design of complex systems. Systems Architecture is a generic discipline to handle objects (existin...
