07451 Abstracts Collection - Model-Based Engineering of Embedded Real-Time Systems

Today, embedded software plays a central role in most advanced technical systems such as airplanes, cell phones, and cars, and has become the main driver for innovation. Development, evolution, configuration and maintenance of embedded and distributed software nowadays often are serious challenges as a drastic increase of the software complexity can be observed in practice. The application of model-based engineering technologies to embedded real-time systems seems to be a good candidate to tackle some of the resulting problems.
