Towards intelligent tool-support for AADL based modeling of embedded systems

摘要

Model-driven design (MDD) of complex embedded systemsis currently based on successive cycles of model changes, analysis and simulation. This iterative process suffers from a delay between applying changes on the model and knowledge about the resulting properties of thesystem. Current research on Architecture Discription Languages (ADL) in general, and AADL in specific, focuses primarily on tools and support for analysis and simulation, as distinct phases during design. We give an overview of existing work on AADL, and illustrate though a case studythe opportunities for a novel, integrating research domain on ADL.
