An Effective Collaboration of a Modeling Tool and a Simulation and Evaluation Framework

摘要

System modeling tools contribute to the preparation of design artifacts for subsequent stages of the system development but frequently they failed to their contribution to the evaluation of the system modeled. In the paper, we describe the approach we developed for real-time systems modeling and models evaluation. This approach is named PPOOA-Cheddar because it combines the PPOOA method and tool for architecting real-time systems with the Cheddar framework for simulation and evaluation of real-time systems. PPOOA and Cheddar tools were developed by independent groups, so we have to adapt PPOOA, the modeling tool we developed, to be integrated with the Cheddar evaluation framework.
