Abstract:
In recent days, the amount of functions has increased significantly in embedded products so that systems de- velopment methodologies play an important role to ensure the product’s quality, cost, and time. Furthermore, this complexity coupled with constantly evolving specifications, has led to propose a semiformal develop- ment methodology to support the building of embedded real-time systems. A platform-based design approach has been used to balance costs and time-to-market in relation to performance and functionality constraints. We performed three expressive case studies and we concluded that the proposed methodology significantly reduces design time and improves software modularity and reliability.
