MDA approach for non-functional properties of dependable and distributed real-time systems

Abstract

Non-functional properties are highly important for dependable and distributed real-time systems as they are designed to operate in environments where failure to provide functionality or service can have enormous cost both from financial, influential or physical aspects. Therefore it is essential that these properties are calculated as precisely as possible during the design and operation of such systems. In this paper, we propose an aspect-oriented MDA approach for non-functional properties to develop dependable and distributed real-time systems. A case study illustrates the aspect oriented MDA development of dependable and distributed real-time systems. © 2011 Springer-Verlag.
