Um dos maiores desafios para a indústria de embarcados é fornecer produtos com alto nível de qualidade e funcionalidade, a um baixo custo e curto tempo de desenvolvimento, disponibilizando-o rapidamente ao mercado, aumentando assim, o retorno dos investimentos. Os requisitos de custo e tempo de desenvolvimento têm sido abordados com bastante êxito pela engenharia de software baseada em componentes (CBSE) aliada à técnica de reuso de componentes. No entanto, a utilização da abordagem CBSE sem as devidas verificações da qualidade dos componentes utilizados, pode trazer conseqüências catastróficas (Jezequel et al., 1997). A utilização de mecanismos apropriados de pesquisa, seleção e avaliação da qualidade de componentes são considerados pontos chave na adoção da abordagem CBSE. Diante do exposto, esta tese propõe uma Metodologia para Avaliação da Qualidade de Componentes de Software Embarcados sob diferentes aspectos. A idéia é solucionar a falta de consistência entre as normas ISO/IEC 9126, 14598 e 2500, incluindo o contexto de componente de software e estendendo-o ao domínio de sistemas embarcados. Estas normas provêem definições de alto nível para características e métricas para produtos de software, mas não provêem formas de usá-las efetivamente, tornando muito difícil aplicá-las sem adquirir mais informações de outras fontes. A Metodologia é composta de quatro módulos que se complementam em busca da qualidade, através de um processo de avaliação, um modelo de qualidade, técnicas de avaliação agrupadas por níveis de qualidade e uma abordagem de métricas. Desta forma, ela auxilia o desenvolvedor de sistemas embarcado no processo de seleção de componentes, avaliando qual componente melhor se enquadra nos requisitos do sistema. É utilizada por avaliadores terceirizados quando contratados por fornecedores a fim de obter credibilidade em seus componentes. A metodologia possibilita avaliar a qualidade do componente embarcado antes do mesmo ser armazenado em um sistema de repositório, especialmente no contexto do framework robusto para reuso de software, proposto por Almeida (Almeida, 2004)

Abstract:
L'objectif du travail présenté dans cette thèse est de proposer un avancement dans la construction des systèmes embarqués de traitement d'images numériques, flexibles et puissants. La proposition est d'explorer l'utilisation d'une représentation d'image particulière appelée « arbre des composantes connexes » (connected component tree – CCT) en tant que base pour la mise en œuvre de l'ensemble de la chaîne de traitement d'image. Cela est possible parce que la représentation par CCT est à la fois formelle et générale. De plus, les opérateurs déjà existants et basés sur CCT recouvrent tous les domaines de traitement d'image : du filtrage de base, passant par la segmentation jusqu'à la reconnaissance des objets. Une chaîne de traitement basée sur la représentation d'image par CCT est typiquement composée d'une cascade de transformations de CCT où chaque transformation représente un opérateur individuel. A la fin, une restitution d'image pour visualiser les résultats est nécessaire. Dans cette chaîne typique, c'est la construction du CCT qui représente la tâche nécessitant le plus de temps de calcul et de ressources matérielles. C'est pour cette raison que ce travail se concentre sur la problématique de la construction rapide de CCT. Dans ce manuscrit, nous introduisons le CCT et ses représentations possibles dans la mémoire de l'ordinateur. Nous présentons une partie de ses applications et analysons les algorithmes existants de sa construction. Par la suite, nous proposons un nouvel algorithme de construction parallèle de CCT qui produit le « parent point tree » représentation de CCT. L'algorithme est conçu pour les systèmes embarqués, ainsi notre effort vise la minimisation de la mémoire occupée. L'algorithme en lui-même se compose d'un grand nombre de tâches de la « construction » et de la « fusion ». Une tâche de construction construit le CCT d'une seule ligne d'image, donc d'un signal à une dimension. Les tâches de fusion construisent progressivement le CCT de l'ensemble. Pour optimiser la gestion des ressources de calcul, trois différentes stratégies d'ordonnancement des tâches sont développées et évaluées. Également, les performances des implantations de l'algorithme sont évaluées sur plusieurs ordinateurs parallèles. Un débit de 83 Mpx/s pour une accélération de 13,3 est réalisé sur une machine 16-core avec Opteron 885 processeurs. Les résultats obtenus nous ont encouragés pour procéder à une mise en œuvre d'une nouvelle implantation matérielle parallèle de l'algorithme. L'architecture proposée contient 16 blocs de base, chacun dédié à la transformation d'une partie de l'image et comprenant des unités de calcul et la mémoire. Un système spécial d'interconnexions est conçu pour permettre à certaines unités de calcul d'accéder à la mémoire partagée dans d'autres blocs de base. Ceci est nécessaire pour la fusion des CCT partiels. L'architecture a été implantée en VHDL et sa simulation fonctionnelle permet d'estimer une performance de 145 Mpx/s à fréquence d'horloge de 120 MHz
The aim of this work is to enable construction of embedded digital image processing systems, which are both flexible and powerful. The thesis proposal explores the possibility of using an image representation called connected component tree (CCT) as the basis for implementation of the entire image processing chain. This is possible, because the CCT is both simple and general, as CCT-based implementations of operators spanning from filtering to segmentation and recognition exist. A typical CCT-based image processing chain consists of CCT construction from an input image, a cascade of CCT transformations, which implement the individual operators, and image restitution, which generates the output image from the modified CCT. The most time-demanding step is the CCT construction and this work focuses on it. It introduces the CCT and its possible representations in computer memory, shows some of its applications and analyzes existing CCT construction algorithms. A new parallel CCT construction algorithm producing the parent point tree representation of the CCT is proposed. The algorithm is suitable for an embedded system implementation due to its low memory requirements. The algorithm consists of many building and merging tasks. A building task constructs the CCT of a single image line, which is treated as a one-dimensional signal. Merging tasks fuse the CCTs together. Three different task scheduling strategies are developed and evaluated. Performance of the algorithm is evaluated on multiple parallel computers. A throughput 83 Mpx/s at speedup 13.3 is achieved on a 16-core machine with Opteron 885 CPUs. Next, the new algorithm is further adapted for hardware implementation and implemented as a new parallel hardware architecture. The architecture contains 16 basic blocks, each dedicated to processing of an image partition and consisting of execution units and memory. A special interconnection switch is designed to allow some executions units to access memory in other basic blocks. The algorithm requires this for the final merging of the CCTs constructed by different basic blocks together. The architecture is implemented in VHDL and its functional simulation shows performance 145 Mpx/s at clock frequency 120 MHz

Abstract:
Nowadays, more and more embedded systems are equipped with e.g., various sensors that produce large amount of data. One of the challenges of traditional (CPU-based) embedded systems is to process this considerable amount of data such that it produces the appropriate performance level demanded by embedded applications. A solution comes from the usage of a specialized processing unit such as Graphics Processing Unit (GPU). A GPU can process large amount of data thanks to its parallel processing architecture, delivering an im- proved performance outcome compared to CPU. A characteristic of the GPU is that it cannot work alone; the CPU must trigger all its activities. Today, taking advantage of the latest technology breakthrough, we can benefit of the GPU technology in the context of embedded systems by using heterogeneous CPU-GPU embedded systems. Component-based development has demonstrated to be a promising methology in handling software complexity. Through component models, which describe the component specification and their interaction, the methodology has been successfully used in embedded system domain. The existing component models, designed to handle CPU-based embedded systems, face challenges in developing embedded systems with GPU capabilities. For example, current so- lutions realize the communication between components with GPU capabilities via the RAM system. This introduces an undesired overhead that negatively affects the system performance. This Licentiate presents methods and techniques that address the component- based development of embedded systems with GPU capabilities. More concretely, we provide means for component models to explicitly address the GPU-aware component-based development by using specific artifacts. For example, the overhead introduced by the traditional way of communicating via RAM is reduced by inserting automatically generated adapters that facilitate a direct component communication over the GPU memory. Another contribution of the thesis is a component allocation method over the system hardware. The proposed solution offers alternative options in opti- mizing the total system performance and balancing various system properties (e.g., memory usage, GPU load). For the validation part of our proposed solutions, we use an underwater robot demonstrator equipped with GPU hardware.

Abstract:
Component failures can result in catastrophic behaviors in safety critical embedded systems, sometimes resulting in loss of life. Component failures can be treated as off nominal behaviors (ONBs) with respect to the components and sub systems involved in an embedded system. A lot of research is being carried out to tackle the problem of ONBs. These approaches are mainly focused on the states (i.e., desired and undesired states of a system at a given point of time to detect ONBs). In this paper, an approach is discussed to detect component failures and critical components of an embedded system. The approach is based on fault tree analysis (FTA), applied to the requirements specification of embedded systems at design time to find out the relationship between individual component failures and overall system failure. FTA helps in determining both qualitative and quantitative relationship between component failures and system failure. Analyzing the system at design time helps in detecting component failures and critical components and helps in devising strategies to mitigate component failures at design time and improve overall safety and reliability of a system.

Abstract:
This thesis presents new data management techniques for run-time data in component-based embedded real-time systems. These techniques enable data to be modeled, analyzed and structured to improve data management during system development, maintenance, and execution. The foundation of our work is a case-study that identifies a number of problems with current state-of-practice in data management for industrial embedded real-time systems. We introduce two novel concepts: the data entity and the database proxy. The data entity is a design-time concept that allows designers to manage data objects throughout different design and maintenance activities. It includes data-type specification, documentation, specification of timing and quality properties, tracing of dependencies between data objects, and enables analysis and automated validation. The database proxy is a run-time concept designed to allow the use of state-of-the-art database technologies in contemporary software-component technologies for embedded systems. Database proxies decouple components from an underlying database residing in the component framework. This allows components to remain encapsulated and reusable, while providing temporally predictable access to data maintained in a database, thus enabling the use of database technologies, which has previously excluded, in these systems. To validate our proposed techniques, we present a tool implementation of the data entity as well as implementations of the database proxy approach, using commercial tools, the AUTOSAR standardized automotive software architecture, and automotive hardware.  Our results show that the presented techniques can contribute to the development of future component-based embedded real-time systems, by providing structured and efficient data management.

Abstract:

This thesis presents new techniques for data management of run-time data objectsin component-based embedded real-time systems. These techniques enabledata to be modeled, analyzed and structured to achieve data managementduring development, maintenance and execution.The evolution of real-time embedded systems has resulted in an increasedsystem complexity beyond what was thought possible just a few years ago.Over the years, new techniques and tools have been developed to manage softwareand communication complexity. However, as this thesis show, currenttechniques and tools for data management are not sufficient. Today, developmentof real-time embedded systems focuses on the function aspects of thesystem, in most cases disregarding data management.The lack of proper design-time data management often results in ineffectivedocumentation routines and poor overall system knowledge. Contemporarytechniques to manage run-time data do not satisfy demands on flexibility,maintainability and extensibility. Based on an industrial case-study that identifiesa number of problems within current data management techniques, bothduring design-time and run-time, it is clear that data management needs to beincorporated as an integral part of the development of the entire system architecture.As a remedy to the identified problems, we propose a design-time data entityapproach, where the importance of data in the system is elevated to beincluded in the entire design phase with proper documentation, properties, dependenciesand analysis methods to increase the overall system knowledge.Furthermore, to efficiently manage data during run-time, we introduce databaseproxies to enable the fusion between two existing techniques; ComponentBased Software Engineering (CBSE) and Real-Time Database ManagementSystems (RTDBMS). A database proxy allows components to be decoupledfrom the underlying data management strategy without violating the componentencapsulation and communication interface.

Abstract:
This thesis is focused on the application of Component-Based (CB) technology to shop floor devices using a Service Oriented Architecture (SOA) and Web Services (WS) for the purpose of realising future generation agile manufacturing systems. The environment of manufacturing enterprises is now characterised by frequently changing market demands, time-to-market pressure, continuously emerging new technologies and global competition. Under these circumstances, manufacturing systems need to be agile and automation systems need to support this agility. More specifically, an open, exible automation environment with plug and play connectivity is needed. Technically, this requires the easy connectivity of hardware devices and software components from different vendors. Functionally, there is a need of interoperability and integration of control functions on different hierarchical levels ranging from field level to various higher level applications such as process control and operations management services. A potential solution is to realise a modular and reconfigurable automation system, based on a platform of reusable components; while simultaneously reducing the number of unique components. For designing such reusable components, a component-based technology has been used in current thesis. The automation components created are active and distributed entities interacting through their data, event and service ports. To communicate these entities, this thesis focuses on applying SOA and WS at device level. SOA and WS have already been proven successful in linking business applications. If SOA can be applied at shop floor using the embedded devices, it can enable entirely new automation architecture based on peer-to-peer interactions between autonomous devices. The adoption of this SOA-WS approach at shop floor level would enable a seamless integration of higher level business applications and shop- floor level system. This will also provide a loosely coupled message-oriented service in embedded device networks and geographically distributed automation system. SOA can be implemented using Web Services on the embedded devices, which will provide even greater exibility and interoperability because WS is platform neutral. This SOA-WS approach will enable end users to operate and maintain the supplied system easily. A key aim of this thesis is to examine if the adoption of SOA-WS at the embedded control devices can provide the same level of message speed and reliability as the current control systems. It is expected that the desired distributed, loosely coupled and reconfigurable automation system can be formed by a network of these collaborative autonomous SOA-WS based devices using an open control platform. This approach has been experimentally evaluated both in terms of quantity and quality using various parameters involved in the design, implementation, evaluation and recon guration of SOA-WS based automation systems. This has been done using the Ford Festo test rig located at the Manufacturing System Integration Research Institute of Loughborough University. The mechanisms on this test rig represent control problems typically associated in engine assembly and handling machines. Therefore, the result of experimental studies performed on this test rig can be considered applicable to real manufacturing applications.

Abstract:
The continuously increasing complexity of embedded systems is a major issue for their development, which, in addition, must also consider specific extra-functional requirements and constraints, such as limited and shared resources, distribution, timing, and dependability. Thus, embedded systems call for development solutions that can efficiently and predictably cope with these issues. Component-based software engineering is a proven paradigm to handle complexity. Yet, for efficiently managing extra-functional properties, a component model needs to have dedicated mechanisms that provide a suitable support for their management. The objective of this thesis is to build this support. We have performed a systematic analysis of existing component models and identified challenges of applying a component-based approach to embedded system development. Based on these challenges we have advanced the current state-of-the-art by developing a new component model, called ProCom, that accommodates the specifics of embedded systems through its well-defined execution semantics and layered structure. Centered around ProCom, we have also developed PRIDE, the ProCom Integrated Development Environment. PRIDE supports the development from early specification to synthesis and deployment, providing the means to aggregate various analysis and verification tools. The main contribution of the thesis is in the design and implementation of an extra-functional property management framework that enables to seamlessly specify, manage and integrate multi-valued context-aware extra-functional properties of component-based embedded systems. Properties can be attached to architectural elements of component models and their values can be compared and refined during the development process. In particular, having multiple context-aware values allows values from different sources to be compared. The proposed concepts have been demonstrated on several representative example systems.

Abstract:
Managing complexity is an increasing challenge in the development of embedded systems (ES). Some of the factors contributing to the increase in complexity are the growing complexity of hardware and software, and the increased pressure to deliver full-featured products with reduced time-to-market. An attractive approach to manage the software complexity, reduce time-to-market and decrease development costs lies in the adoption of component-based development that has been proven as a successful approach in other domains. Another raising challenge, due to complexity increase, in ES, is predictability, i.e., the ability to anticipate the behavior of a system at run-time. The particular predictability requirements of ES call for a development framework equipped with techniques and tools that can be applied to deal with requirements, such as timing, and resource utilization, already at early-stage of development. Modeling and formal analysis play increasingly important roles in achieving predictability, since they can help us to understand how systems function, validate the design and verify some important properties. In this thesis, we present a resource-aware framework for designing predictable component-based ES. The proposed framework consists of (i) the formally specified ProCom component model that takes into account the characteristics of control-intensive ES, and (ii) the resource-aware timed behavioral language - REMES for modeling and reasoning about components’ and systems’ functional and extra-functional behavior that includes relevant resource types for ES, associated analysis techniques for various resource-wise properties, and a set of associated tools. To demonstrate the potential application of our framework, we present a number of case studies, out of which one is an industrial research prototype, where ProCom and REMES are applied.

Abstract:
Developing industrial real-time software systems is challenging due to de- mands on system safety and reliability, through stringent system requirements in terms of functionality, timing, resource consumption etc. Due to this, the system development needs to ensure predictability before the actual imple- mentation, through reliable engineering methods. To address these challenges, model-based engineering (MBE) combined with Component-based develop- ment (CBD) has emerged as a feasible solution. MBE supports system model- ing and formal analysis through the development phases such as requirements, specification, and design. CBD supports reusability of software parts leading to faster development time, and reduced costs. However, an integrated approach needs to deal with various abstractions of the system during different phases of the development. In this thesis, we present model-based techniques, for the development of predictable, component-based designs of embedded systems. We consider Pro- Com as the underlying component model and, as a first step, we define a for- mal semantics for its architectural elements. The given semantics provides a basis for developing analyzable embedded systems designs, associated analy- sis techniques, model transformations etc. Next, we describe some commonly- found behavioral patterns, in component-based designs. These patterns provide an abstract, and reusable specification of a real-time components functional- ity. Also, we define component-based design templates, intended to support the systematic development of component-based designs from abstract system models. Finally, we propose a formal framework to correlate statemachine- based system behavior with corresponding ProCom-based system designs. We validate our research contributions using case-studies and examples, and also by applying verification techniques, such as, model-checking.

Abstract:
Application specific digital systems, called embedded systems, touch almost every aspect of modern human life. As a result, there is considerable interest in automating the design (called synthesis) of these systems. Further, given the time-to-market pressures and increasing system complexities, component reuse during synthesis is being touted as a key to success. This thesis proposes a formal framework for reusing system-level components during synthesis. Within the framework for component reuse, component matching is a key problem that must be addressed. Given the specification of a design function, and a device stored as a component in a library, component matching addresses the question of whether the device can implement the function. Often system-level components are multi-functional and generic, and it is rarely the case that the function is directly realizable by a device. Hence, an important aspect of matching is to decide whether the device can be dynamically adapted to match the function. This thesis proposes a formalization of the matching problem using formal models of the function and device, denoted by F and D respectively. D matches F provided there exists an interface I that adapts D dynamically to produce the same behaviour as F. None of the existing implementation verification techniques within formal methods can be used to test for the existence of an I between arbitrary pairs of F and D. In this thesis, a new simulation relation called forced simulation is proposed between the states of F and D. It is then formally established that the existence of a forced simulation relation is a necessary and sufficient condition for the existence of I for a pair of F and d. Two kinds of forced simulation are proposed, one each for synchronous and asynchronous interactions with the environment. Based on forced simulation, a polynomial time algorithm for automatic matching of F and D is also developed. The distinguishing feature of the algorithm is that when successful, it generates an interface that automatically adapts the device to behave like the function. The algorithm is illustrated by reusing two rogrammable components from Intel and some typical embedded controllers.

Abstract:
The model- and component-based development approach has emerged as an attractive option for the development of Distributed Real-time Embedded (DRE) systems. In this thesis we target several issues such as modeling of legacy communication, extraction of end-to-end timing models and support for holistic response-time analysis of industrial component-based DRE systems. We introduce a new approach for modeling legacy network communication in component-based DRE systems. By introducing special-purpose components to encapsulate and abstract the communication protocols in DRE systems, we allow the use of legacy nodes and legacy protocols in a component- and model-based software engineering environment. The proposed approach also supports the state-of-the-practice development of component-based DRE systems. The Controller Area Network (CAN) is one of the widely used real-time networks in DRE systems especially in automotive domain. We identify that the existing analysis of CAN does not support common message transmission patterns which are implemented by some high-level protocols used in the industry. Consequently, we extend the existing analysis to facilitate the worst-case response-time computation of these transmission patterns. The extended analysis is generally applicable to any high-level protocol for CAN that uses periodic, sporadic, or both periodic and sporadic transmission of messages. Because an end-to-end timing model should be available to perform the holistic response-time analysis, we present a method to extract the end-to-end timing models from component-based DRE systems. In order to show the applicability of our modeling techniques and extended analysis, we provide a proof of concept by extending the existing industrial component model (Rubus Component Model), implementing the holistic response-time analysis along with the extended analysis of CAN in the industrial tool suite (Rubus-ICE), and conducting an automotive case study.

Abstract:
Recently, automatic demographic classification has found its way into embedded applications such as targeted advertising in mobile devices, and in-car warning systems for elderly drivers. In this thesis, we present a complete framework for video-based gender classification and age estimation which can perform accurately on embedded systems in real-time and under unconstrained conditions. We propose a segmental dimensionality reduction technique utilizing Enhanced Discriminant Analysis (EDA) to minimize the memory and computational requirements, and enable the implementation of these classifiers for resource-limited embedded systems which otherwise is not achievable using existing resource-intensive approaches. On a multi-resolution feature vector we have achieved up to 99.5% compression ratio for training data storage, and a maximum performance of 20 frames per second on an embedded Android platform. Also, we introduce several novel improvements such as face alignment using the nose, and an illumination normalization method for unconstrained environments using bilateral filtering. These improvements could help to suppress the textural noise, normalize the skin color, and rectify the face localization errors. A non-linear Support Vector Machine (SVM) classifier along with a discriminative demography-based classification strategy is exploited to improve both accuracy and performance of classification. We have performed several cross-database evaluations on different controlled and uncontrolled databases to assess the generalization capability of the classifiers. Our experiments demonstrated competitive accuracies compared to the resource-demanding state-of-the-art approaches.

Abstract:
L'implémenation distribuée des systèmes temps-réel a été toujous une tâche non-triviale. La coordination des composants s'exécutant sur une plate-forme distribuée doit être assurée par des protocoles de communication complexes en tenant compte de leurs contraintes de temps. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons un flot de conception rigoureux à partir d'un modèle de haut niveau d'un logiciel d'application décrit en BIP (Behavior, Interaction, Priority) et conduisant à une implémenation distribuée. Le flot de conception implique l'utilisation de transformations de modèles tout en conservant les propriétés fonctionnelles des modèles originaux de BIP. Un modèle BIP se compose d'un ensemble de composants qui se synchronisent à travers les interactions et les priorités. Notre méthode transforme les modèles BIP en un modéle Send/Receive qui fonctionnent en utilisant le passage de messages asynchrones. Les modèles obtenus sont directement implémenté sur une plate-forme donnée. Nous présentons trois solutions pour obtenir un modéle Send/Receive. Dans la première solution, nous proposons des modéles Send/Receive qui fonctionnent avec un engin centralisé qui implémente les interactions et les priorités. Les composants atomiques des modèles originaux sont transformés en composants Send/Receive qui communiquent avec l'engin centralisé via des interactions Send/Receive. L'engin centralisé exécute les interactions sous certaines conditions définies par les modèles à états partiels. Ces modèles représentent une déscription haut niveau de l'exécution parallèle de modèles BIP. Dans la deuxième solution, nous proposons de décentraliser l'engin. Les modéles Send/Receive obtenus sont structurées en trois couches: (1) les composants Send/Receive (2) un ensemble d'engin, chacun exécutant un sous-ensemble d'interactions, et (3) un ensemble de composants implémentant un protocole de résolution des conflits. Avec les solutions décrites ci-dessus, nous supposons que les latences de communication sont négligeables. Ceci est du au fait que les modéles Send/Receive sont concu de telle sorte qu'il n'y ait pas retard entre la décision d'exécuter une interaction dans un engin et son exécution dans les composants participant. Dans la troisième solution, nous proposons des modéles Send/ Receive qui exécutent correctement même en présence de latences de communication. Cette solution est basée sur le fait que les engin planifient l'exécution des interactions et notifient les composants à l'avance. Afin de planifier correctement les interactions, nous montrons que les engins sont tenus à observer des composants supplémentaires, en plus de ceux qui participent aux interactions. Nous présentons également une méthode pour optimiser le nombre de composants observés, en se basant sur l'utilisation de techniques d'analyse statique. A partir d'un modéle Send/Receive donné, nous générons une application distribuée où les interactions Send/Receive sont implémentées par les sockets TCP. Les résultats expérimentaux sur des exemples non triviaux et des études de cas montrent l'efficacité de notre méthode
Correct distributed implementation of real-time systems has always been a challenging task. The coordination of components executing on a distributed platform has to be ensured by complex communication protocols taking into account their timing constraints. In this thesis, we propose rigorous design flow starting from a high-level model of an application software in BIP (Behavior, Interaction, Priority) and leading to a distributed implementation. The design flow involves the use of model transformations while preserving the functional properties of the original BIP models. A BIP model consists of a set of components synchronizing through multiparty interactions and priorities. Our method transforms high-level BIP models into Send/Receive models that operate using asynchronous message passing. The obtained models are directly implementable on a given platform. We present three solutions for obtaining Send/Receive BIP models. -In the first solution, we propose Send/Receive models with a centralized scheduler that implements interactions and priorities. Atomic components of the original models are transformed into Send/Receive components that communicate with the centralized scheduler via Send/Receive interactions. The centralized scheduler is required to schedule interactions under some conditions defined by partial state models. Those models represent high-level representation of parallel execution of BIP models. - In the second solution, we propose to decentralize the scheduler. The obtained Send/Receive models are structured in 3 layers: (1) Send/Receive atomic components, (2) a set of schedulers each one handling a subset of interactions, and (3) a set of components implementing a conflict resolution protocol. With the above solutions, we assume that the obtained Send/Receive models are implemented on platforms that provide fast communications (e.g. multi-process platforms) to meet perfect synchronization in components. This is because the obtained schedulers are modeled such that interactions scheduling corresponds exactly to execution in components. - In the third solution, we propose Send/Receive models that execute correctly even if communications are not fast enough. This solution is based on the fact that schedulers plan interactions execution and notify components in advance. In order to plan correctly the interactions, we show that the schedulers are required to observe additional components, in addition to the ones participating in the interactions. We present also a method to optimize the number of observed components, based on the use of static analysis techniques. From a given Send/Receive model, we generate a distributed implementation where Send/Receive interactions are implemented by TCP sockets. The experimental results on non trivial examples and case studies show the efficiency of our design flow

Abstract:
Industrial control systems are applied in many areas e.g., motion control for industrial robotics, process control of large plants such as in the area of oil and gas, and in large national power grids. Since the last decade with advancement and adoption of virtualization and multicore technology (e.g., Virtual Monitoring Machine, cloud computing, server virtualization, application virtualization), IT systems, automation industries have benefited from low investment, effective system management and high service availability. However, virtualization and multicore technologies have posed a serious challenge to real-time systems, which is violating timeliness and predictability of real-time application running on control systems. To address the challenge, we have extended a real-time component-based framework with virtual nodes; and evaluated the framework in the context of virtualized multicore environment. The evaluation is demonstrated by modeling and implementing an orchestra application with QoS for CPU, memory and network bandwidth. The orchestra application is a real-time and distributed application deployed on virtualized multicore PCs connected with speakers. The result shows undistorted orchestra performance played through speakers connected to physical computer nodes. The contribution of the thesis can be considered: 1) extending a real-time component-based framework, Future Automation Software Architecture (FASA) with virtual nodes using Virtual Computation Resource (VCR) and 2) design and installation of reusable test environment for development, debugging and testing of real-time application on a network of virtualized multicore environment.

Abstract:

Increasing complexity of real-time systems and demands for enabling their configurability and tailorability are strong motivations for applying new software engineering principles such as aspect-oriented and component-based software development. The integration of these two techniques into real-time systems development would enable: (i) efficient system configuration from the components in the component library based on the system requirements, (ii) easy tailoring of components and/or a system for a specific application by changing the behavior (code) of the component by aspect weaving, and (iii) enhanced flexibility of the real-time and embedded software through the notion of system configurability and component tailorability.

In this thesis we focus on applying aspect-oriented and component-based software development to real-time system development. We propose a novel concept of aspectual component-based real-time system development (ACCORD). ACCORD introduces the following into real-time system development: (i) a design method that assumes the decomposition of the real-time system into a set of components and a set of aspects, (ii) a real-time component model denoted RTCOM that supports aspect weaving while enforcing information hiding, (iii) a method and a tool for performing worst-case execution time analysis of different configurations of aspects and components, and (iv) a new approach to modelling of real-time policies as aspects.

We present a case study of the development of a configurable real-time database system, called COMET, using ACCORD principles. In the COMET example we show that applying ACCORD does have an impact on the real-time system development in providing efficient configuration of the real-time system. Thus, it could be a way for improved reusability and flexibility of real-time software, and modularization of crosscutting concerns.

In connection with development of ACCORD, we identify criteria that a design method for component-based real-time systems needs to address. The criteria include a well-defined component model for real-time systems, aspect separation, support for system configuration, and analysis of the composed real-time system. Using the identified set of criteria we provide an evaluation of ACCORD. In comparison with other approaches, ACCORD provides a distinct classification of crosscutting concerns in the real-time domain into different types of aspects, and provides a real-time component model that supports weaving of aspects into the code of a component, as well as a tool for temporal analysis of the weaved system.

Abstract:

Nowadays, embedded systems are becoming more and more complex. For this reason, designers focus more and more to adopt component-based methods for their designs. Consequently, there is an increasing interest on modeling and verification issues of component-based embedded systems.

In this thesis, a tool, which integrates modeling, simulation and verification of component-based embedded systems, is designed and implemented. This tool uses the PRES+, Petri Net based Representation for Embedded Systems, to model component-based embedded systems. Both simulation and verification of systems are based on the PRES+ models.

This tool consists of three integrated sub-tools, each of them with a graphical interface, the PRES+ Modeling tool, the PRES+ Simulation tool and the PRES+ Verification tool. The PRES+ Modeling tool is a graphical editor, with which system designers can model component-based embedded systems easily. The PRES+ Simulation tool, which is used to validate systems, visualizes the execution of a model in an intuitive manner. The PRES+ Verification tool provides a convenient access to a model checker, in which models can be formally verified with respect to temporal logic formulas.

Abstract:
Model-driven and component-based software engineering have been widely recognized as promising paradigms for development of a wide range of systems. Moreover, in the embedded real-time domain, their combination is believed to be helpful in handling the ever-increasing complexity of such systems design.However, in order for these paradigms and their combination to definitely break through at an industrial level for development of embedded real-time systems, both functional and extra-functional properties need to be addressed at each level of abstraction. This research focuses on the preservation of extra-functional properties. More specifically, the aim is to provide support for easing such preservation throughout the entire development process at different abstraction levels.The main outcome of the research work is a round-trip engineering approach aiding the preservation of extra-functional properties by providing code generators, supporting monitoring and analysis of code execution, and then enabling back-propagation of the results to modelling level. In this way, properties that can only be roughly estimated statically are evaluated against runtime values and this consequently allows to optimize the design models for ensuring preservation of analysed extra-functional properties. Moreover, a solution for managing evolution of computational context in which extra-functional properties are defined by means of validity analysis is provided. Such solution introduces a new language for the description of the computational context in which a given property is provided and/or computed by some analysis, enables detection of changes performed to the context description, and analyses the possible impacts on the extra-functional property values based on a precise representation of differences between previous and current version of the model.

Abstract:
Development of embedded systems poses an increasing challenge fordevelopers largely due to increasing complexity. Several factors contribute tothe complexity challenge: • the number of extra-functional properties applying to embedded systems,such as resource usage, timing effects, safety. • the functionality of embedded systems, to a larger extent than for othersoftware, involves engineers from multiple different disciplines, such asmechanical, control, software, safety, systems and electrical engineers.Themulti-disciplinarity causes the development environments to consistof separate data, models and tools. Several engineering paradigms to handle this complexity increase havebeen suggested, including methodologies focused on architecture, models andcomponents. In systems engineering, a long-standing approach has been todescribe the system in several views, each according to a certain viewpoint.By doing so, a divide-and-conquer strategy is applied to system concerns.Unfortunately, it is hard to always find completely independent concerns:there is always some semantic overlap between the different views. Modelbaseddesign (MBD) deals with building sound abstractions that can representa system under design and be used for analysis. Component-based design(CBD) focuses on how to build reusable component models with well-definedcomposition models. In this thesis, a concept of formalized multi-viewed component models (MVCM) is proposed, which integrates the three above mentioned paradigms.Principles and guidelines for MV CMs are developed. One of the main challengesfor the proposition is to provide MV CMs that produce composabilityboth along component boundaries and viewpoint boundaries. To accomplishthis, the relations between viewpoints need to be explicitly taken into account.Further, the semantic relations between these viewpoints need to be explicitlymodeled in order to efficiently ensure that the views are kept consistent. Asa main contribution, this thesis presents the formalization of the conceptsneeded to build such component models. A proper formalization of multiviewedconcerns provides several opportunities. Given suitable tool support, itwill be feasible to automate architecture analysis and architecture exploration. The thesis includes a number of case studies that provide insight andfeedback to the problem formulation and validating the results. The casestudies include a resource-aware reconfigurable middleware, a design of anarchitecture exploration methodology, and a windshield wiper system.

Abstract:
Embedded real-time applications have to allow interaction between the control computer and the controlled environment. Controlling the environment requires in particular to take into account its time constraints and critical logical conditions. One of the main programmer efforts in real-time application's development is to trace the incoming events, and to perform reactions based on the current system status, according to the application requirements. All this have to be handled, although external events may come in the middle of a critical reaction, which may disturb it. This problem involves two difficulties: „X The cognitive efforts to percept the problem, and consequently to express the solution. „X The correct translation of this solution to code. Two requirements were defined in this research in order to achieve high-quality performance: clearness and robustness, clearness in the design, and robustness in the execution. In this work the author proposes a methodology and a tool for real-time application's development that uses or implies an innovated form of design based on natural-cognitive researches. This design method has clear compilation's rules to produce an Object-Oriented light-code, suitable for embedded platforms. These compilation's rules introduce to the code implicit security and synchronization's elements, to support robust execution. In this methodology, clear development phases were defined, using a high-degree of reuse and even polymorphism, which were emphasized in the research. Several existing ideas were improved/adapted and synthesized together with the author's innovation, creating the Arts'Codes method for real-time application development. The work includes cognitive evaluations, assuring the natural skills of the design. Arts'Codes method proposes a natural VPL (Visual Programming Language) for real-time applications, based on hierarchic components. This VPL is built on a minimum of diagrams: one for the static architecture and one for the dynamic behaviour, with a similar restricted notation at all levels. These two diagrams (static architecture and dynamic behaviour) are interleaved in a unified view. This method was implemented by building a suitable graphic editor, which automatically compiles the applications diagrams in a light and robust Object-Oriented code (based on Parallel Automata FSM), and by building an execution compact software platform. Furthermore, the parallel automata FSM are translated automatically in PTL temporal formula defining the goals and the behaviours of the components, permitting to prove a-priory that the components behaviours are consistent to their goals. The execution platform is based on a restricted implementation of the synchrony hypothesis and on a powerful model of execution: the parallel automata FSM. These Parallel Automata describe the dynamic behaviours of the components and allows implementing run-time exceptions handling too. In addition, the research proposes a tri-processor execution hardware platform, which supports a hybrid synchronous/multi-threading execution. This method will contribute to versatile, clear and robust real-time application's development.

This thesis investigates the deployment modeling in the scope of Progress,a research vision that aims to tackle the increasing complexity of embedded softwaresystems by adopting a software-component approach. The first phase of the Progress deployment process, which is in the focus of this thesis, defines virtualnodes architecture as an abstraction of target platform devices where componentsare allocated. Based on the Progress development process analysis, the thesis identifiesconcerns that need to be addressed by the ProCom component model to supportthe concepts of virtual nodes and allocation, proposes the extension of the ProCommeta-model and the design of allocation in general. The thesis also provides an implementation of a tool support incorporated into the Eclipse application that forms the basis of the Progress IDE. The implementation,whose main goals are to prove the correctness of the ideas and alleviate the deployment in the IDE, integrates rich graphical editors that support the modelingof virtual platform and allocation of components.

Abstract:
Les systèmes embarqués ont évolué d'une manière spectaculaire et sont devenus partie intégrante de notre quotidien. En réponse aux exigences grandissantes en termes de nombre de fonctionnalités et donc de flexibilité, les parties logicielles de ces systèmes se sont vues attribuer une place importante malgré leur manque d'efficacité, en comparaison aux solutions matérielles. Par ailleurs, vu la prolifération des systèmes nomades et à ressources limités, tenir compte de la performance est devenu indispensable pour bien les concevoir. Dans cette thèse, nous proposons une démarche rigoureuse et intégrée pour la modélisation et l'évaluation de performance tôt dans le processus de conception. Cette méthode permet de construire des modèles, au niveau système, conformes aux spécifications fonctionnelles, et intégrant les contraintes non-fonctionnelles de l'environnement d'exécution. D'autre part, elle permet d'analyser quantitativement la performance de façon rapide et précise. Cette méthode est guidée par les modèles et se base sur le formalisme $mathcal{S}$BIP que nous proposons pour la modélisation stochastique selon une approche formelle et par composants. Pour construire des modèles conformes au niveau système, nous partons de modèles purement fonctionnels utilisés pour générer automatiquement une implémentation distribuée, étant donnée une architecture matérielle cible et un schéma de répartition. Dans le but d'obtenir une description fidèle de la performance, nous avons conçu une technique d'inférence statistique qui produit une caractérisation probabiliste. Cette dernière est utilisée pour calibrer le modèle fonctionnel de départ. Afin d'évaluer la performance de ce modèle, nous nous basons sur du model checking statistique que nous améliorons à l'aide d'une technique d'abstraction. Nous avons développé un flot de conception qui automatise la majorité des phases décrites ci-dessus. Ce flot a été appliqué à différentes études de cas, notamment à une application de reconnaissance d'image déployée sur la plateforme multi-cœurs STHORM
In the present work, we tackle the problem of modeling and evaluating performance in the context of embedded systems design. These have become essential for modern societies and experienced important evolution. Due to the growing demand on functionality and programmability, software solutions have gained in importance, although known to be less efficient than dedicated hardware. Consequently, considering performance has become a must, especially with the generalization of resource-constrained devices. We present a rigorous and integrated approach for system-level performance modeling and analysis. The proposed method enables faithful high-level modeling, encompassing both functional and performance aspects, and allows for rapid and accurate quantitative performance evaluation. The approach is model-based and relies on the $mathcal{S}$BIP formalism for stochastic component-based modeling and formal verification. We use statistical model checking for analyzing performance requirements and introduce a stochastic abstraction technique to enhance its scalability. Faithful high-level models are built by calibrating functional models with low-level performance information using automatic code generation and statistical inference. We provide a tool-flow that automates most of the steps of the proposed approach and illustrate its use on a real-life case study for image processing. We consider the design and mapping of a parallel version of the HMAX models algorithm for object recognition on the STHORM many-cores platform. We explored timing aspects and the obtained results show not only the usability of the approach but also its pertinence for taking well-founded decisions in the context of system-level design
