MoBE-RTES 2011 - MoBE-RTES 2011: 2nd IEEE International Workshop on Model-Based Engineering for Real-Time Embedded Systems Design

Model-based engineering (MBE) is evolving into a fully-fledged engineering discipline, with well-established standards, industrial-strength tools, and emerging theoretical foundations. Models are being used to design, specify, and implement a variety of complex and mission-critical systems. MBE involves rich and powerful development environments supporting design, analysis, validation, and implementation of such systems, which provide significantly higher levels of abstraction and computer-based automation than traditional approaches. These are particularly useful in developing complex real-time and embedded systems (RTES), which pose great challenges to system designers and implementers.

The MoBE-RTES workshop is based on the premise that successful development of complex real-time and embedded systems necessarily requires careful architectural design and that this, in turn, involves the extensive use of models, modeling tools, and model-based development methods.

Topics of Interest
The focus of the workshop is on contributions that describe theorical and/or empirical advances in model-based engineering of RTES. In particular, the following topics are of primary interest (although other topics related to the workshop theme are also welcome):

- Modeling languages specific to RTES,
- Usages of MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-time and Embedded systems),

the OMG standard UML profile for RTES (e.g. application experience, extensions,

on-going work, tutorials, etc.)
- Tools that support model-based development of RTES,
- Model-based safety engineering: e.g. methods of specifying safety attributes in an architectural model, methods for ensuring safety of implementations, etc.
- Formal and semi-formal methods for analyzing architectural models for key performance indicators of RTES,
- Examples of innovative applications of MBE to RTES development in industry.
