Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Model-driven approaches are experiencing an increasing acceptance in the automotive domain thanks to the availability of the AUTOSAR standard, which defines an open software architecture for the model-based development of real-time systems and a corresponding development methodology. However, the process of creating models of existing system components is often difficult and time consuming, especially when legacy code is involved or information about the exact timing is needed. The research community tackles this problem by developing algorithms for automatically deriving characteristics of the system's timing behaviour, e.g., response times and resource blockings from various artefacts such as source code or runtime measurements. This work focuses on reversely engineering an AUTOSAR-compliant model, which can be used for further processing including timing simulation and optimisation, via a dynamic analysis from trace recordings of a real-time system. Although software reverse engineering via dynamic analysis has a long history, little research targets embedded systems and its use for multi-core architectures is largely unresearched. Furthermore, related work mainly discusses the analysis of individual characteristics of a real-time system, such as execution times or stimulation patterns instead of creating a description of the entire system. Huselius, whose work is among the publications most related to the topic of this thesis, proposes a technique to reverse engineer a model that reflects the general temporal behaviour of the original real-time software. However, like other existing solutions, it was not developed with AUTOSAR in mind. It is also not feasible to make this approach applicable to the automotive domain, because Huselius has not considered some required details, such as activation patterns, scheduling information, and compliance to the standardised development methodology of AUTOSAR. We want to tackle this deficiency by introducing, in this work, an approach that seizes on Huselius's considerations and extends them in order to make them applicable to the automotive domain. To do so, we present CoreTAna, a prototypical tool that derives an AUTOSAR compliant model of a real-time system by conducting dynamic analysis using trace recordings. Its reverse engineering approach is designed in such a way that it fits seamlessly into the methodology specified by AUTOSAR. CoreTAna's current features are explained and their benefits for reverse engineering are highlighted, and a framework for evaluating the quality of synthesised models is described. Motivated by the challenge of assessing the quality of reverse engineered models of real-time software, we also introduce a mathematical measure for comparing trace recordings from embedded real-time systems regarding their temporal behaviour and a benchmark framework based on this measure, for evaluating reverse engineering tools such as CoreTAna. This framework considers common system architectures and also includes randomly generated systems and systems of projects in the automotive domain and other industries. Finally, CoreTAna's performance and applicability are evaluated on the basis of this benchmark.

This book was released on 2010-10-06 with total page 386 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Thetopicof“Model-BasedEngineeringofReal-TimeEmbeddedSystems”brings together a challenging problem domain (real-time embedded systems) and a - lution domain (model-based engineering). It is also at the forefrontof integrated software and systems engineering, as software in this problem domain is an essential tool for system implementation and integration. Today, real-time - bedded software plays a crucial role in most advanced technical systems such as airplanes, mobile phones, and cars, and has become the main driver and - cilitator for innovation. Development, evolution, veri?cation, con?guration, and maintenance of embedded and distributed software nowadays are often serious challenges as drastic increases in complexity can be observed in practice. Model-based engineering in general, and model-based software development in particular, advocates the notion of using models throughout the development and life-cycle of an engineered system. Model-based software engineering re- forces this notion by promoting models not only as the tool of abstraction, but also as the tool for veri?cation, implementation, testing, and maintenance. The application of such model-based engineering techniques to embedded real-time systems appears to be a good candidate to tackle some of the problems arising in the problem domain.

Book excerpt: Real-Time Simulation Technologies: Principles, Methodologies, and Applications is an edited compilation of work that explores fundamental concepts and basic techniques of real-time simulation for complex and diverse systems across a broad spectrum. Useful for both new entrants and experienced experts in the field, this book integrates coverage of detailed theory, acclaimed methodological approaches, entrenched technologies, and high-value applications of real-time simulation—all from the unique perspectives of renowned international contributors. Because it offers an accurate and otherwise unattainable assessment of how a system will behave over a particular time frame, real-time simulation is increasingly critical to the optimization of dynamic processes and adaptive systems in a variety of enterprises. These range in scope from the maintenance of the national power grid, to space exploration, to the development of virtual reality programs and cyber-physical systems.

Clarifying the central concepts behind real-time simulation tools and techniques, this one-of-a-kind resource: Discusses the state of the art, important challenges, and high-impact developments in simulation technologies Provides a basis for the study of real-time simulation as a fundamental and foundational technology Helps readers develop and refine principles that are applicable across a wide variety of application domains As science moves toward more advanced technologies, unconventional design approaches, and unproven regions of the design space, simulation tools are increasingly critical to successful design and operation of technical systems in a growing number of application domains. This must-have resource presents detailed coverage of real-time simulation for system design, parallel and distributed simulations, industry tools, and a large set of applications.

Download or read book Modernizing Legacy Systems written by Robert C. Seacord and published by Addison-Wesley Professional. This book was released on 2003 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Most organizations rely on complex enterprise information systems (EISs) to codify their business practices and collect, process, and analyze business data. These EISs are large, heterogeneous, distributed, constantly evolving, dynamic, long-lived, and mission critical. In other words, they are a complicated system of systems. As features are added to an EIS, new technologies and components are selected and integrated. In many ways, these information systems are to an enterprise what a brain is to the higher species--a complex, poorly understood mass upon which the organism relies for its very existence. To optimize business value, these large, complex systems must be modernized--but where does one begin? This book uses an extensive real-world case study (based on the modernization of a thirty year old retail system) to show how modernizing legacy systems can deliver significant business value to any organization.
