“…Fig. 5(b)), which are intermediate languages between two sets of languages, have been intensively investigated in the last decade, e.g., in V&V and for domain-specific model checking purposes [51,52,53,54]. Their interests are twofold:…”

“…The existing work has shown the difficulty of defining such a universal "union". For example, TOPCASED has defined the language Fiacre [54], inspired from V-Cotre [52] and NTIF [51], which is a pivot language between the DSL of the IDE (e.g., UML, AADL, etc.) and the various V&V environments.…”

Bridging the chasm between MDE and the world of compilation

Modeling and transforming have always been the cornerstones of software system development, albeit often investigated by different research communities. Modeling addresses how information is represented and processed, while transformation cares about what the results of processing this information are. To address the growing complexity of software systems, Model-Driven Engineering (MDE) leverages Domain Specific Languages (DSL) to define abstract models of systems and automated methods to process them. Meanwhile, compiler technology mostly concentrates on advanced techniques and tools for program transformation. For this, it has developed complex analyses and transformations (from lexical and syntaxic to semantic analyses, down to platformspecific optimizations). These two communities appear today quite complementary and are starting to meet again in the Software Language Engineering (SLE) field. SLE addresses all the stages of a software language lifecycle, from its definition to its tooling. In this article, we show how SLE can lean on the expertise of both MDE and compiler research communities and how each community can bring its solutions to the other one. We then draw a picture of the current state of SLE, and of the challenges it has still to face.

“…For example, TIMES (Fersman et al 2006) is a simulation and a model-checker tool based on time automata while VESTA (Sokolsky et al 2006) makes use of process algebra. Several Petri-Net tools can also be used for schedulability analysis: CPN Tools (Wells 2006), CPN-AMI (Hamez et al 2006), Tina (Berthomieu and Vernadat 2006) or PeNSMARTS (Grolleau and Choquet-Geniet 2000).…”

This article deals with real-time critical systems modelling and verification. Real-time scheduling theory provides algebraic methods and algorithms in order to make timing constraints verifications of these systems. Nevertheless, many industrial projects do not perform analysis with real-time scheduling theory even if demand for use of this theory is large and the industrial application field is wide (avionics, aerospace, automotive, autonomous systems, . . . ). The Cheddar project investigates why real-time scheduling theory is not used and how its usability can be increased. The project was launched at the University of Brest in

Abstract:The COTRE Architecture Description Language, developed during the COTRE project, allows software designers to describe hierarchically static and real time architectures, their behavior and their functional or non-functional requirements. Due to different needs at the user and at the verification levels, the COTRE language has been split early in the project into 2 specialized sublanguages named respectively UCOTRE (User-COTRE) and VCOTRE (Verifkation-COTRE). As the UCOTRE concepts are very close to the AADL ones, and to avoid defining 2 concurrent languages, UCOTRE has become an AADL dialect, using its extension mechanisms. This paper focuses on the UCOTRE description as a set of extensions and restrictions to AADL.
