| Description: |
The complexity of modern embedded systems increases as they incor-porate new concerns such as distribution and mobility. These new features need to be considered as early as possible in the software development life-cycle. Model Driven Engineering (MDE), that promotes an intensive use of models and is now widely seen as a solution to master the development of complex systems such as embedded ones. Component-Based Software Engineering (CBSE) is another major trend that gains acceptance in the embedded world due to its properties such as reuse, modularity and flex-ibility. This article proposes the Flex-eWare Component Model (FCM) for designing and implementing modern embedded systems. The FCM uni-fies MDE and CBSE and has been evaluated in several application do-mains with different requirements: wireless sensor networks, distributed client/server applications, and control systems for electrical devices. This approach highlights a new concept: flexibility points, that arise at sev-eral stages of the development process: in the model (design phase), in the execution platform and during the execution itself. This flexibility points are captured with model libraries that can extend the Flex-eWare |
