Model-Driven Design Approaches for Embedded Systems Development: A Case Study

Abstract

In this paper, we develop a variety of novel approaches to design and imple
ment embedded systems given the nature of these systems and their appli
cation market. In an environment of increasing complexity of these systems, 
traditional development methods tend to underestimate the extent to which 
traditional tools and methodologies do not address detailed requirements 
and constraints of embedded application software. In response to these chal
lenges, the model driven design has emerged as a powerful paradigm for 
streamlining the process of development of embedded systems and for im
proving quality and reliability of the embedded systems. In the context of 
embedded system development, thisarticle explores the use of model driven 
design, and draws an insight from as comprehensive case stud In this paper, 
we hope to offer helpful insights into model driven design by examining the 
key principles, methodologies and tools  that typically support such a design 
approach applied to embedded systems development processes.
