“…The controller software has different runtime modes and the available functions vary between modes. The main modes include the "Initialization mode", "Safe-init mode", "System update and configuration mode", "Normal operation mode", and "Fail-safe mode" [12]. The controller software is in the initialization mode during startup.…”

“…The MARTE profile extends the UML models to include description of timing requirements. The MAST tool-suite 7 allows for modelling as well as performing automatic schedulabilty analysis and supports many of the common scheduling algorithms for single-core as well as multi-core architectures. UPPAAL [27] is another tool for modelling the software as timed-automata and it supports model checking for formal analysis and verification.…”

“…Moreover, with the decreasing availability of single-core processors, there is a need to migrate the existing software to the powerful multi-core computing platforms. Such migration, however, should ensure that the quality attributes such as performance and dependability [7], [8] match the current system quality and more optimistically, improved much further.…”

This paper provides a systematic three-stage methodology for migrating complex real-time industrial software systems from single-core to multi-core computing platforms. Single-core platforms have limited computational capabilities that prevent integration of computationally demanding applications such as image processing within the existing system. Modern multi-core processors provide increased computing capacity and allow the parallel execution of different applications within the system. However, this transition is non-trivial and requires a systematic and well-defined migration process. This paper reviews some of the existing migration methods and provides a systematic multi-phase migration process with emphasis on software architecture recovery and transformation to explicitly address the timing and dependability attributes expected of industrial software systems.
