Abstract

The quality of service (QoS) of enterprise distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems can degrade under certain operating conditions and system architectures. This paper provides two contributions to research on modeldriven development (MDD) tools and methods that help identify and rectify these QoS problems in componentbased enterprise DRE systems. First, we show how MDD tools can be used to simplify and automate the evaluation of component-based DRE systems to identify QoS problems. Second, we show how MDD tools can be used to specify alternative QoS polices for component-based DRE systems and synthesize metadata automatically to simplify system (re)configurations that rectify QoS problems. We illustrate our MDD tools on a case study of multi-layer resource management services for shipboard computing systems that automate many aspects of power, navigation, command and control, and tactical operations.
