Abstract

During embedded systems development, decisions must be made regarding which portions of the system will be implemented in software, hardware, firmware etc. The latest version of UML (UML 2.1.1), and the Systems Modeling Language, (SysML) now enable embedded systems developers to more closely model their systems. Systems engineering principals, can also aid this process. Consequently, essential aspects of systems engineering issues such as concurrency, hardware architecture, and requirements traceability can be applied to embedded systems. This paper proposes a method for analyzing and designing a system into logical units so that the allocation process can be successfully completed. Constraints and elements can be traced to and reflected in the generated code.
