WindView: a tool for understanding real-time embedded software through system vizualization

Abstract

There is enormous pressure today on software development teams creating real-time embedded systems. The software content of embedded systems is increasing, the applications are becoming more complex, the time-to-market pressure is increasing, and more often than not, the success of the entire project or product hinges on the software. Thus these software developers find that their job is becoming more difficult and more critical, but that they have less time to do it.
