Tools for model-based real-time system synthesis

Abstract

The model-based approach is an experimental technique for system development that strives to automatically transform models describing the specifications required for a system into a usable solution. This paper describes an extensible set of the software tools required to build complex, parallel, real-time, computer systems using the model-based approach. The paper focuses on the model editor portion of the tools but also provides background information and application examples to enhance understanding.
