“…Our approach has been first integrated in an industry-strength RTSJ-compliant compilation infrastructure and run-time environment [28]: the model extraction and synthesis steps were interfaced with the Java-to-C TurboJ compilation chain [44] and our controller subsystem was part of the Expresso executive [16]. More recently, it was used as part of an MDE framework for real-time embedded systems comprising the formal, modeltransformation and code-generation tool Jahuel [5] and STMicroelectronics's FlexCC2 compilation technology [7].…”

This is the unspecified version of the paper.This version of the publication may differ from the final published version. Abstract Meeting multiple Quality of Service (QoS) requirements is now an important factor for the success of complex software systems. This paper presents a correct-byconstruction, automated, model-driven scheduler synthesis approach for scheduling system tasks so as to meet multiple QoS requirements. As a first step, it shows how software engineers can meet deadlock-freedom and timeliness requirements, in a manner that (i) does not over-provision resources, (ii) does not require architectural changes to the system, and that (iii) leaves enough degrees of freedom to pursue further properties. The synthesis methodology directly associates each scheduler with a specific pair of QoS property and underlying platform execution model, so as to facilitate their validation and the understanding of the overall system behaviour, required to meet further QoS properties. The paper shows how the methodology is applied in practice and also presents the implementation infrastructure needed for executing an application on top of common operating systems, without requiring modifications of the operating system.

“…These are annotated with the timing constraints modelling the execution times of the corresponding code. These models can also be extracted automatically from application code, as was done in [28] and in [5] for annotated Java and C programs, respectively.…”

“…Basics of software/hardware models and a compositional constraint generation technique for concurrent loops are presented in previous work [21][22][23] and [24] respectively. In this paper we will extend this technique and show how to apply it to the tasks model, and we will focus on presenting the methodology for synthesizing and exploring software-level and hardware-level schedulers by using the technique for constraints generation and P-WARE tool [23] for simulation-driven performance evaluation.…”

The introduction of high-performance applications such as multimedia applications into SoCs led the manufacturers to provide embedded SoCs able to offer an important computing power which makes it possible to answer the increasing requirements of future evolutions of these applications. One of the adopted solutions is the use of multiprocessor SoCs. In this paper, we present a joint SW/HW design exploration methodology for multiprocessor SoCs. The system model relies on transaction-level component-based models for modeling parallel software and multiprocessor hardware. Our proposal comprises two original points. First, we propose a composable software-level scheduler constraints synthesis technique. Second, we present a combined software-level and exploratory hardwarelevel schedulers. The methodology has the advantage of combining real-time requirements of software with effective exploitation of multiprocessor hardware. We describe and apply the methodology to synthesize a scheduler of a slice-based MPEG-4 video encoder on the multiprocessor Cake SoCs.

“…There are several approaches that have been proposed to overcome these issues. JAHUEL [6], for example, was proposed as a compilation tool chain to generate code that bridges the semantic gap between platformindependent modeling and platform-specific implementation. However, the system description language of JAHUEL, called FXML, does not support verification of behavioral aspects.…”

This paper presents our effort of using model-driven engineering to establish a safety-assured implementation of Patient-Controlled Analgesic (PCA) infusion pump software based on the generic PCA reference model provided by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA). The reference model was first translated into a network of timed automata using the UPPAAL tool. Its safety properties were then assured according to the set of generic safety requirements also provided by the FDA. Once the safety of the reference model was established, we applied the TIMES tool to automatically generate platform-independent code as its preliminary implementation. The code was then equipped with auxiliary facilities to interface with pump hardware and deployed onto a real PCA pump. Experiments show that the code worked correctly and effectively with the real pump. To assure that the code does not introduce any violation of the safety requirements, we also developed a testbed to check the consistency between the reference model and the code through conformance testing. Challenges encountered and lessons learned during our work are also discussed in this paper.
