Currently available application frameworks that target at the automatic design of real-time embedded software are poor in integrating functional and non-functional requirements. In this work, we reveal the internal architecture and design flow of a newly proposed framework called Verifiable Embedded Real-Time Application Framework (VERTAF)1, which integrates software component-based reuse, formal synthesis, and formal verification. Component reuse is based on a formal UML real-time embedded object model. Formal synthesis employs quasi-static and quasi-dynamic scheduling with multi-layer portable efficient code generation, which can output either RTOS-specific application code or automatically-generated real-time executive with application code. Formal verification integrates a model checker kernel from SGM, by adapting it for embedded software. Application examples developed using VERTAF demonstrate significantly reduced design efforts as compared to that without VERTAF, which shows how high-level reuse of software components with automatic synthesis and verification increase design productivity. © Springer-Verlag Berlin Heidelberg 2004.
