Configuring and deploying TR2E applications using an ADL

The production of distributed real-time embedded systems (TR2E) is a time-consuming and costly development operation. What''s more real-time applications have to satisfy stringent constraints in order to function properly. The use of architecture description languages aims to reduce the cost of developing these applications. AADL (Architecture Analysis & Design Language}) belongs to this family of languages. It proposes the notion of component whose well-defined semantics can be used to describe several aspects of a TR2E system.This work exploits the functionalities offered by AADL to specify the exact requirements of a TR2E application in order to produce it automatically. Indeed the production process we propose automatically generates the code to integrate the application components into the execution platform automatically generates a large proportion of the middleware components tailored to the application and automatically deploys the application and middleware components to obtain a system highly dedicated to the application.
