Modeling legacy code with BIP: How to reduce the gap between formal description and real-time implementation
Résumé
To reduce the gap between high-level functional descriptions and real-time multitasking implementation, this paper proposes a set of modeling and code generation principles. Modeling principles are based on integration of a specific BIP concurrent component. This component follows a specific behavioral pattern based on periodic activation of data consumption, data processing and data production. It acts as a periodic task at execution stage. The pattern proposes two variants for eventtriggered and time-triggered platforms. The approach has been tested on three case studies, showing the interest of formalization for behavioral verification. The proposed pattern allows real-time validation and offers classical advantages of high-level modeling.
