Description
The UML modeling language has been extended by the OMG consortium to support model-driven development of real-time and embedded application. This extension has been defined via a UML2 profile called MARTE (Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded systems). It consists mainly of four parts:
- a core framework defining the basic concepts required to support real-time and embedded domain.
- a first specialization (refinement) of this core package to support pure modeling of applications (e.g. hardware and software platform modeling).
- a second specialization (refinement) of this core package to support quantitative analysis of UML2 models, specially schedulability and performance analysis.
- a last part gathering all the MARTE annexes such as the one defining a textual language for value specification within UML2 models, and the one conflating the standard MARTE model libraries dedicated to RT/E system modeling.
The MARTE specification is publicly available on the OMG web site. Currently, two open-source tools are available for system modeling using the MARTE profile: Modelio provides an open source modeling environment for designing high level UML models using the MARTE profile, and also provides guidelines on the utilization of MARTE profile; while an open-source implementation based on Eclipse of the MARTE profile is available in Papyrus UML. This latter is running within the Eclipse UML2 plug-in and within the open-source tool for UML2 Papyrus.

Famous quotes containing the word description:
“The next Augustan age will dawn on the other side of the Atlantic. There will, perhaps, be a Thucydides at Boston, a Xenophon at New York, and, in time, a Virgil at Mexico, and a Newton at Peru. At last, some curious traveller from Lima will visit England and give a description of the ruins of St Paul’s, like the editions of Balbec and Palmyra.”
—Horace Walpole (1717–1797)
“The Sage of Toronto ... spent several decades marveling at the numerous freedoms created by a “global village” instantly and effortlessly accessible to all. Villages, unlike towns, have always been ruled by conformism, isolation, petty surveillance, boredom and repetitive malicious gossip about the same families. Which is a precise enough description of the global spectacle’s present vulgarity.”
—Guy Debord (b. 1931)
“Once a child has demonstrated his capacity for independent functioning in any area, his lapses into dependent behavior, even though temporary, make the mother feel that she is being taken advantage of....What only yesterday was a description of the child’s stage in life has become an indictment, a judgment.”
—Elaine Heffner (20th century)
