A concept of an integrated development environment for reactive systems

Abstract

One of the main application areas of modern engineering in computer based systems is development, production, deployment and maintenance of reactive systems. Today, the majority of functions in such systems are implemented in software, and modeled as a group of finite state machines (automata). The past decade has seen many R&D efforts in development of tool sets that support software production processes, in area of reactive systems, in both industry and academia. This paper is our contribution to this movement. The paper presents a concept of an integrated development environment for a class of problems known as finite state machines. The concept is suitable for small and medium size high-tech software R&D teams, where most of the team members participate in majority of phases of a software development cycle.

An Approach to Parallelization of Sequential C Code

“…The main goal of the paper is to add the capability of automatic parallelization of existing sequential C code to C compiler, which has been previously developed by our group [6][7][8]. This C compiler is targeting modern digital signal processors (DSP), including Cirrus Logic Coyote 32 architecture, which is also our target architecture (TA).Significant part of this C compiler is reused.…”
