Concurrent engineering for real-time systems

Abstract

The Incremental Prototyping Technology for Embedded Real-Time Systems (Iptes) project, which is part of ESPRIT II, is described. The goal of the project is to develop methodologies and tools for the distributed prototyping of real-time systems. The work concentrates on two areas of support for concurrent engineering: adapting graphical-animation techniques to real-time-system development and creating a mechanism for propagating changes within and between tasks.< <ETX xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">&gt;</ETX>
