Industrial adaptation of MARTE for early scheduling analysis of component-based applications

Abstract

Scheduling analysis techniques are well adapted for performance estimation at early design stages of component-based applications, since they rely on an abstraction of the timing properties. These properties can be annotated to the design model using well-known standards such as the UML Profile for MARTE. However, due to its high syntax complexity, MARTE suffers from a limited acceptance in the industry. In this work, we propose an adaptation of the MARTE syntax in the context of the development of Software Design Radio systems, according to designer needs.
