Abstract

The use of software component models has become popular in the development of desktop applications and distributed information systems. The most successful models incorporate support for run-time services of general use in their intended application domains. There has been no widespread use of such models in the de-velopment of embedded real-time systems and much research is currently directed at defining new component models for this domain. We have explored the alterna-tive approach of extending a mainstream component model with run-time services for embedded real-time systems. A prototype tool has been developed that gener-ates code for a number of such services. To evaluate this tool, we have conducted a multiple-case study, where four teams of students were given the same develop-ment task. Two teams were given the tool while the remaining two were not. This paper describes the design of the study and our initial analysis of the results.
