“…In [1], we defined TURTLE, a real-time UML profile which improves the OMGbased notation in terms of real-time system modeling, formal semantics, and formal verification. The profile was successfully applied to various case studies, including an industrial application in the framework of the dynamic reconfiguration of software embedded on board satellites [2].…”

“…The native TURTLE profile defined in [1] includes a Preemption operator which allows a Tclass T1 to abruptly interrupt a Tclass T2 without any possibility for T2 to keep track of its activity and resume later on. Thus, TURTLE lacks a high-level operator to express the possibility for a Tclass to be suspended and subsequently resumed.…”

“…In [1], we defined TURTLE (Timed UML and RT-LOTOS Environment), a real-time UML profile with a formal semantics expressed in RT-LOTOS [4] and a model validation tool (RTL [9]). TURTLE addresses the structure and behavioral description of real-time systems.…”

Abstract. In a previous paper, we defined TURTLE, a Timed UML and RT-LOTOS Environment which includes a real-time UML profile with a formal semantics given in terms of translation to RT-LOTOS, and a model validation approach based on the RTL toolset. This paper presents an enhanced TURTLE with new composition operators (Invocation, Periodic, Suspend / Resume) and suspendable temporal operators which makes it possible to model scheduling constraints of real-time systems. The proposed extension is formalized in terms of translation to native TURTLE. Thus, we preserve the possibility to use RTL to check a real-time system model against logical and timing errors. A case study illustrates the use of the new operators.

“…The purpose of TURTLE, the Timed UML and RT-LOTOS Environment introduced in Apvrille (2001b), is to remain compliant with UML 1.5, but also to reinforce UML's expressive power in two directions. On the architecture description side, TURTLE extends class diagrams with stereotyped classes names Tclasses and composition operators which unambiguously define interactions between Tclasses.…”

“…The proposed methodology relies on TURTLE (Timed UML and RT-LOTOS Environment (Apvrille, 2001b)), a real-time UML profile with a formal semantics given in terms of the Formal Description Technique RT-LOTOS (Courtiat, 2000). RT-LOTOS code derived from TURTLE models is validated using RTL, the Real-Time Lotos Laboratory developed at LAAS-CNRS.…”

Abstract. The paper discusses the use of the TURTLE UML profile to model and verify service continuity during dynamic reconfiguration of embedded software, and space-based telecommunication software in particular. TURTLE extends UML class diagrams with composition operators, and activity diagrams with temporal operators. Translating TURTLE to the formal description technique RT-LOTOS gives the profile a formal semantics and makes it possible to reuse verification techniques implemented by the RTL, the RT-LOTOS toolkit developed at LAAS-CNRS. The paper proposes a modeling and formal validation methodology based on TURTLE and RTL, and discusses its application to a payload software application in charge of an embedded packet switch. The paper demonstrates the benefits of using TURTLE to prove service continuity for dynamic reconfiguration of embedded software.
