E-CARES Project: Reengineering of PLEX Systems

One important field of application for embedded realtime systems is in the telecommunications industry. The first phase of the E-CARES reengineering project concerned the architecture modeling and the reverse engineering of telecommunication systems implemented in the programming language PLEX. Now, we study the restructuring of such systems including their re-design and re-implementation. This paper presents the current status of the E-CARES project and describes some interesting challenges of PLEX.
