The > ongoing standardization and stabilization of UML is an important step on this > track. Furthermore, designers of real-time systems have a strong need for > enhancing UML with specific real-time specification means and for tools and > methodologies supporting the object-oriented real-time development process. > Several of the organizers of this workshop are involved in the AIT-WOODDES > project, which is one such attempt. This project is an European project of > the fifth PCRD and it joins the IST (Information Societies Technology) > Program. Its objective is to provide a clean and general framework for > real-time development as close as possible to traditional object-oriented > methods. Its overriding results are expected to have major impacts on: > * development time and cost > * quality of delivered products > * continuity of the development cycle > This workshop will address important issues in relation to these goals. The > workshop aims to gather academics and industrial people to discuss the use of > formal design techniques for the development of embedded real-time systems > with extended real-time UML. It tackles important issues of a development > cycle (analysis, design, implementation, validation), i.e. modeling, > synthesis/code generation, testing, and validation respectively verification. > > TOPICS > > The workshop topics include (but are not limited to): > - Modeling of real-time systems with UML > * How to specify real-time requirements with UML (interactions, > constraints,...)? > * How to model real-time dynamic behavior with UML (objects, > state diagrams,...)? > * How to enhance UML to capture more real-time aspects? > - Synthesis and code generation with respect to hard real-time requirements > * How to generate code taking into account specified timing constraints? > * How to ensure fulfillment of timing constraints? > * How to assess and back-annotate timing analysis results? > - Testing > * How to derive test cases from the specified timing constraints? > * How to test the code against the specified requirements? > - Validation and verification: > * How to validate and verify the dynamic behavior and the fulfillment of > the timing constraints? > * How to ensure consistency of a system described through different types > of models (structural, interaction, behavior, ...)? > > FORMAT OF THE WORKSHOP > > The workshop will consist mainly of small working groups that focus on a > specific problem. First, the organizers of the workshop will present surveys > covering the four topics identified for the workshop. These presentations > will provide some of the context for the discussions in the working groups. > Within the groups each group member will shortly present his position in > relation to the theme of his group. In a brain storming session the group > will list issues related to their topic and then start discussions about > items of the list. The discussion will be recorded, summarized, and presented. > > SUBMISSIONS & PARTICIPATION > > To participate to the workshop "Formal Design Techniques for Real-Time UML" > send a position paper to [log in to unmask] Your submission should not > exceed 3 pages (10 point, single space) and should be in one of the following > formats: plain text, postscript, pdf or word. > Accepted submissions will be placed on the workshop web site and on the > AIT-WOODDES web site <http://wooddes.intranet.gr/index.htm>. > Working group and workshop synthesis will be considered for publication in a > UML Workshop Reader after obtaining agreement with an interested publisher. > > All attendees at the workshop will have to pay the workshop registration > fee.
