Aonix® Releases High-Integrity Profile for Ameos™
Embedded Systems Show demo illustrates UML modeling and code-generation strengths for real-time mission-critical Java applications
Oct 13, 2004 - 19:53 PM
HIP eases development of distributed applications using Java tasks and remote method invocation (RMI) by predefined stereotypes (i.e., HIPeriodic and HISporadic). To meet the needs of mission- and safety-critical developers, HIP communication patterns (i.e., Blackboard, buffer, event) are based on ARINC-653, a standard for asynchronous communication of separate processes or threads developed by Aeronautical Communication Company (ARINC).
“HIP delivers proven communication patterns to the real-time market ,” noted Michael Benkel, Aonix’s Director Product Marketing. “By using HIP, developers apply UML models of their application that are much easier to read and therefore easier to implement and maintain. As well, the evolution from model to target-specific code is handled by powerful a transformation engine, so the development process is truncated significantly.”
Through the UML 2.0 Profile Editor of Ameos, HIP allows stereotypes and properties to be defined and assigned to model elements of the UML metamodel, ensuring that profiles are well designed, documented and easy to use for the entire project team. HIP taps into the Ameos transformation engine which uses model-driven architecture to increase the model’s level of abstraction and reduce dependency on the target platform. Through special transformation rules, HIP maps the UML models to real-time Java code, which is RTSJ compliant and can be executed on PERC, Aonix Java real-time virtual machine.
HIP is based on the profiles and generators developed within project funded by the European Union, a project concerned with the specification and implementation of a real-time Java tool chain that includes a real-time JVM, modeling tools and model verification tools. As a leader in the mission- and safety-critical field, Aonix customers must adhere to a number of industry-specific standards. This powerful MDA solution can easily be adapted to other standards and certifications required by various industries such as avionics, military and defence, and automotive.
