Abstract

There is a growing interest in using object-oriented analysisand design techniques in conjunction with UML to developlarge complex systems. This paper presents an iterativeapproach for studying the timing constraints of a system-of-systems using models expressed in UML for Realtime extension (UML-RT), which are then translated intocoarse-grained simulation models that are exercised usingthe OMNeT++ simulation engine. The integration of theUML-RT models with simulation models provides a seamlessprocess for rapidly constructing executable prototypesfor the purpose of analyzing timing constraints and derivingsystem requirements from those constraints. The effectivenessof the approach is demonstrated with a case studyof the sensor-netting capability of a missile defense system.
