Abstract

Compositional architecture-driven and model-based system design holds huge potential to increase design efficiency and improve design quality for large-scale industrial systems. Transition to such design paradigm is hampered by the lack of domain-specific methods and tools that give adequate support for both behavioral and structural modeling and development automation. This paper introduces an enhancement to Lyra, a rigorous service-oriented modeling method for the design of communicating distributed systems that brings process algebraic thinking into industrial system specification with particular focus on behavior. This enhancement offers a sound basis for implementing the ideas of MDA in automation of system design, functional verification and conformance testing. The Lyra method and its enhancement are exemplified using UML2 to model a critical and complex part of the mobile WiMAX wireless system.
