Development of reconfigurable distributed embedded systems with a model-driven approach

摘要

In this paper, we propose a model-driven approach allowing to build reconfigurable distributed real-timernembedded (DRE) systems. The constant growth of the complexity and the required autonomy of embeddedrnsoftware systems management give the dynamic reconfiguration a big importance. New challenges to applyrnthe dynamic reconfiguration at model level as well as runtime support level are required. In this direction,rnthe development of reconfigurable DRE systems according to traditional processes is not applicable. Newrnmethods are required to build and to supply reconfigurable embedded software architectures. In this context,rnwe propose an model-driven engineering based approach that enables to design reconfigurable DRErnsystems with execution framework support. This approach leads the designer to specify step by step his/herrnsystem from a model to another one more refined until the targeted model is reached. This targeted modelrnis related to a specific platform leading to the generation of the most part of the system implementation. Wernalso develop a new middleware that supports reconfigurable DRE systems.
