Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems with UML and MARTE

Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems with UML and MARTE is the first book to explain the MARTE standard. Coauthors Bran Selic and Sebastien Gerard lead the efforts to write the standard and distill it in this approachable reference so you can design and develop embedded software to control complex technical systems. The MARTE addendum to the UML standard will help you build real-time and embedded systems for transportation, communication, and industrial control. The functional sophistication required of advanced cyber-physical systems has reached a point where traditional code-centric development methods are less capable of delivering a reliable product on time. In Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded Systems with UML and MARTE, Selic and Gerard explain how to overcome these limitations with modern model-based engineering methods and corresponding industry standards. These methods rely on high-level models and supporting techniques and technologies, taking full advantage of computer automation to yield higher levels of productivity and product quality. This book includes models that will help you improve communication between stakeholders, increasing the likelihood that the right product will be implemented. You'll also learn how models enable more accurate computer-supported prediction of key system properties early in the development cycle. You can understand and implement the MARTE standard with this approachable guide. You can learn from examples focused on commonly used cases encountered in the design of real-time and embedded software and demonstrate how this is done with MARTE. You can learn how MARTE can be used for computer-supported engineering analysis to predict key system characteristics early in development. You can use predictive analysis methods for software design and understand the full benefits of model-based methods for system and software development.
