“…An empirical study by Whittle et al [59] finds that most commercial tools only support models at an abstraction level very close to the code. This is reinforced by Kamma et al [22]. Whittle et al also state that users were only successful with MDE if they customized existing tools or built their own; otherwise the complexity of the overall process was too high.…”

We report on an industrial case study on developing the embedded software for a smart meter using the C programming language and domain-specific extensions of C such as components, physical units, state machines, registers and interrupts. We find that the extensions help significantly with managing the complexity of the software. They improve testability mainly by supporting hardware-independent testing, as illustrated by low integration efforts. The extensions also do not incur significant overhead regarding memory consumption and performance. Our case study relies on mbeddr, an extensible version of C. mbeddr, in turn, builds on the MPS language workbench which supports modular extension of languages and IDEs.

Context: The term software reuse was first used in 1968 at the NATO conference. Since then, work in the scientific literature have stated that the application of software reuse offers benefits such as increase in quality and productivity. Nonetheless, in spite of many publications reporting software reuse experiences, evidence that such benefits having reached industrial settings is scarce. Objective: To identify and classify the benefits transferred to real-world settings by the application of software reuse strategies. Method: We conducted a systematic mapping study (SMS). Our search strategies retrieved a set of 2,413 papers out of which 49 were selected as primary studies. We defined five facets to classify these studies: a) the type of benefit, b) the reuse process, c) the industry's domain, d) the type of reuse and e) the type of research reported. Results: Quality increase (28 papers) and Productivity increase (25 papers) were the two most mentioned benefits. Component-Based Development (CBD) was the most reported reuse strategy (41%), followed by Software Product Lines (SPL, 30%). The selected papers mentioned fourteen industrial domains, of which four stand out: aerospace and defense, telecommunications, electronics and IT services. The application of systematic reuse was reported in 78% of the papers. Regarding the research type, 50% use evaluation research as the investigation method. Finally, 13 papers (27%) reported validity threats for the research method applied. Conclusions: The literature analyzed presents a lack of empirical data, making it difficult to evaluate the effective transfer of benefits to the industry. This work did not find any relationship between the reported benefits and the reuse strategy applied by the industry or the industry domain. Although the most reported research method was industrial case studies (25 works), half of these works (12) did not report threats to validity.

“…In model based software development, the design gradually develops into an executable artifact with different layers of graphical abstractions called models [7]. These models can be used to automatically generate executable codes, suitable for the target platform, using code generators [8].…”

In this paper Model Based Design (MBD) is used to simplify the development of three types of visual warning in an automobile. Along the signals the proposed system provides the outputs to send encapsulated signals in an automotive network. The method presented in this paper uses auto code generation to ease the developers work and give engineers experienced in embedded programing a very useful option to avoid expenditure of time often waste in manual programing. The C code generated automatically can be used in several hardware and the methodology presented is helpful in a wide broad of applications.
