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 type of fig leaf which each culture employs to cover its social taboos offers a twofold description of its morality. It reveals that certain unacknowledged behavior exists and it suggests the form that such behavior takes.”
—Freda Adler (b. 1934)
“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)
“The great object in life is Sensation—to feel that we exist, even though in pain; it is this “craving void” which drives us to gaming, to battle, to travel, to intemperate but keenly felt pursuits of every description whose principal attraction is the agitation inseparable from their accomplishment.”
—George Gordon Noel Byron (1788–1824)
