Research Synopsis
Model Driven Approach for Distributed Real-time
Embedded Middleware

• Develop, validate, help to standardize
  technologies that
• Model
• Analyze
• Synthesize
• Provision
• multiple layers of middleware for distributed
  real-time and embedded (DRE) systems that require
  simultaneous control of multiple quality of
  service properties end-to-end

Configuring Middleware End-to-End

• Status
• Options Configuration Modeling Language (OCML)
  developed in GME
• Used by TAO developers to model TAO ORB
  configuration options and option constraints
• Validate user-provided option descriptor file
• Next Steps
• Develop modeling paradigm to express QoS
  requirements
• Interactive tool to synthesize options descriptor
  file based on application QoS requirements
• Benchmarking on Emulab testbed
• Tools to generate html documentation of options

Component Assembly Deployment
SOLUTION

• Status
• Component Assembly Descriptor Modeling Language
  (CADML) developed in GME
• Used to model synthesize CAD files for
  Boldstroke product scenarios in CIAO

• Next Steps
• Pre-Assembly effort
• Import the CCD files to construct the assembly
  building library
• Construction of IDL/CIDL file
• Capture and Analyze application QoS requirements
  and determine effective configuration.

5
Applying MDA Looking Forward

• Serve users from different areas differently
• Partial QoS requirement specification/evaluation.
