Abstract

High-level architecture modeling languages, such as Architecture Analysis & Design Language (AADL), are gradually adopted in the design of embedded systems so that design choice verification, architecture exploration, and system property checking are carried out as early as possible. This paper presents our recent contributions to cope with clock-based timing analysis and validation of software architectures specified in AADL. In order to avoid semantics ambiguities of AADL, we mainly consider the AADL features related to real-time and logical time properties. We endue them with a semantics in the polychronous model of computation; this semantics is quickly reviewed. The semantics enables timing analysis, formal verification and simulation. In addition, thread-level scheduling, based on affine clock relations is also briefly presented here. A tutorial avionic case study, provided by C-S, has been adopted to illustrate our overall contribution.
