Model Driven Engineering for Distributed Real-Time Embedded Systems 2009

Model-based development methods, and supporting technologies, can
provide the techniques and tools needed to address the dilemma
between reducing system development costs and time, and developing
increasingly complex systems. This book provides the information
needed to understand and apply model-drive engineering (MDE) and
model-drive architecture (MDA) approaches to the development of
embedded systems. Chapters, written by experts from academia and
industry, cover topics relating to MDE practices and methods, as
well as emerging MDE technologies. Much of the writing is based on
the presentations given at the Summer School "MDE for
Embedded Systems" held at Brest, France, in September 2004.
