Abstract

This paper presents a novel theoretical formalization that is enable model interactions between virtual environment, and components, by means of multilayer automata. Secondly, we prove that these automata are the platforms, based on application program interfaces (APIs), of platform-based design paradigm: so obtaining a theoretical result, which highlights the effectiveness of APIs in modelling of these interactions. Finally a case study of an embedded system for electronic measurement of gas concentration is proposed, and described.
