MARTE: a new OMG profile RFP for the Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time Embedded Systems
Résumé
A new RFP invitation for an UMLTM profile on Real-Time and Embedded systems modeling and analysis (codename: MARTE) was recently voted at OMG.
While of broader scope than strictly SoC design, many objectives of MARTE are highly relevant to the domain (defining time structures, concurrency and communication models, mixing control-flow and dataflow, modeling architectural platforms and adopting Y-chart approaches for allocation of application functions onto architectural resources).
We describe the RFP content, stressing its relation to SoC design, as well as others connected activities in the domain, such as SysML, AADL, and UML4SoC.
