Towards the Integration of UPES and UML-RT for Developing an Embedded Software

Abstract

In the Embedded system area, there are many development processes have a completely combination to the UML-RT. The UPES (Unified Process for Embedded System) is a development process which based on platform-based design principles and UML 2.0. In this paper, we propose a workflow which utilizes the UML-RT and the UPES process for embedded software development. The capsule collaboration diagram and statechart are used to strengthen platform model in the UPES process. We also implement an example of digital photo frame to demonstrate our proposed workflow.
