Abstract

Focusing on the communications subsystem of embedded platforms, this paper introduces an MDA based approach for the development of embeddable communicable applications. A QoS aware and resource oriented approach, which exhibits the runtime interaction between applications and platforms, is proposed. Reservation based (typically connection oriented) networks are specifically considered.
