The development of embedded systems requires both tools and methods which help the designer to deal with the higher complexity and tougher constraints due to the different hardware support, often distributed topology and time requirements. Proper tools and methods have a major impact on the overall costs and final product quality. We have applied the Object-Oriented Real-Time Techniques (OORT) method, which is oriented toward the specification of distributed realtime systems, to the implementation of the Multiple Lift System (MLS) case study. The method is based on the UML, SDL and MSC languages and supported by the ObjectGEODE toolset. This paper summarizes the method and presents our experience in the MLS system development, namely the difficulties we had and the success we have achieved.
