The development of embedded Systems becomes more and more complex. Model driven engineering can help to manage this complexity by specifying real-time properties in a declarative way and automating the deployment. The UML profile MARTE is a OMG standard that allows to model real-time properties. However, there is no execution infrastructure that supports MARTE's generic component model (GCM) and the application modeling (HLAM). The contribution of the paper is twofold: it presents a proposition of a component model with flexible interaction support that allows to tailor code generation to domain and target requirements. Second, it will show how MARTE's GCM concepts can be implemented by means of the proposed component model. The proposed component model has been largely developed in the context of the French national project Flex-eWare with the intention to unify major components model, notably the CORBA component model (CCM) and Fractal. The paper explains the major elements of this model in detail and shows how specific connector and containers can implement MARTE specifications. We present the tool support that is integrated into a UML modeler and based on model-to-model and model to text transformations.
