Abstract

The development of Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) software systems is complex. These systems are deployed on (heterogeneous) platforms with non-functional characteristics such as performance, resource consumption, and so on. Component-based Software Engineering (CBSE) enables assembling systems from pre-existing components, while separating functional from non-functional (QoS and FT) properties concerns. This paper proposes our model-driven tool eC3M, implementing a CBSE-based approach. It also compares eC3M with different component-based approaches according to a set of adopted perspectives: the development process, handling the application evolution and maintainability, and the obtained footprint.
