Framework-based Embedded Real -Time System Development

Abstract

The development of an embedded real-time system is a complicated task. Not only the users’ requirements are difficult to capture but there are also the stringent timing constraints on critical tasks. Reusing the successful developing experience is a shortcut. In this paper, a framework-based approach is presented to help efficient design embedded real-time systems. The approach is based on an object-oriented framework, which is a collection of collaborating components that provide a set of services for a given domain. Our framework construct consists of three packages, namely UsrApp, RTService and OSAbstract, to aid designers customize their applications derived from the abstract classes in these packages.
