Abstract

It is well known that systems that have been evolving over a long period of time become costly to maintain, i.e., the productivity when adding new functionality and fixing bugs is low. In this paper we present a non-intrusive method for increasing the maintainability of complex industrial real-time systems. This method aims to create a formal model of an existing system and using that model for analyzing the effect of changes. The challenge of this approach is to develop a valid model with a minimum of complexity and to show that the model is valid for use. The method focuses on analyzing timing and synchronization properties.
