A Component Model for Control-Intensive Distributed Embedded Systems

Abstract. In this paper we focus on design of a class of distributed embedded systems that primarily perform real-time controlling tasks. We propose a two-layer component model for design and development of such embedded systems with the aim of using component-based development for decreasing the complexity in design and providing a ground for analyzing them and predict their properties, such as resource consumption and timing behavior. The two-layer model is used to efficiently cope with t design paradigms on different abstraction levels. The model is illustrated by an example from the vehicular domain.
