Abstract

This paper presents a model-based approach that combines the data-flow and object-oriented computing paradigms to model embedded systems. The rationale behind the approach is that both views are important for modelling purposes in embedded systems environments, and thus a combined and integrated usage is not only useful, but also fundamental for developing complex systems. We also show that by using models we are able to implement automated transformations between different views of the system under design. We exemplify the approach with an IPv6 router case study.
