Title :
A UML-based design methodology for real-time and embedded systems
Author_Institution :

Abstract :
The fast growing complexity of today´s real time embedded systems necessitates new design methods and tools to face the problems of design, analysis, integration and validation of complex systems. the author presents a system level design method for embedded real-time systems combining the informal strengths of UML with the formal strengths of SDL. The flow is demonstrated by the design example of a telecommunications application from the wireless or access domain, showing the applicability of the flow to control and data-dominated types of systems. Finally, the author shows how the application results and other enduser needs and requirements influenced the current UML 2.0 proposal with support for real-time and embedded systems
