Boundness Issues in CCSL Specifications
Résumé
The UML Profile for Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded systems promises a general modeling framework to design and analyze systems. Lots of works have been published on the modeling capabilities offered by MARTE, much less on verification techniques supported. The Clock Constraint Specification Language (CCSL), first introduced as a companion language for MARTE, was devised to offer a formal support to conduct causal and temporal analyses on MARTE models. This work introduces formally a state-based semantics for CCSL operators and then focuses on the analysis capabilities of MARTE/CCSL and more particularly on boundness issues. The approach is illustrated on one simple example where the architecture plays an important role. We describe a process where the logical description of the application is progressively refined to take into account the candidate execution platforms through allocation.
