This approach provides a basis that helps develop a complex system in a systematic manner. Thus, this thesis aims at deriving a system model through this approach for the purpose of autonomous driving, specifically focusing on developing the subsystem responsible for generating a feasible trajectory for a miniature vehicle, called AutoCar, to enable it to move towards a goal. The report provides a background on MBSE and System Modeling Language (SysML) which is used for modelling the system. With this background, an MBSE framework for AutoCar is derived and the overall system design is explained. This report further explains the concepts involved in autonomous trajectory planning followed by an introduction to Robot Operating System (ROS) and its application for trajectory planning of the system. The report concludes with a detailed analysis on the benefits of using this approach for developing a system.

Software Development is a major branch in computing and information Technology. A software development professional oversees the processes of software development, the management of software development project, the maintenance of the installed software in an organisation. For sometime the field has been dominated with what is the definitive process of software development. Furthermore there has been the running battle between professionals and managers on who should control a software development project. There is an attempt to classify it as any other project that an organisation handles hence anybody could manage it. Whereas others see it as a highly professional issue that requires high precision in design, management and implementation. However, software development is all involving. It involves the user (client) whose interest is paramount. The developing organisation and her professionals ( team)are of great importance. Therefore a successful exercise can only take place when all these variegated interests are harmonised.

Anderson APECS: Polychrony based End-to-End Embedded System Design and Code Synthesis Matthew E. Anderson (ABSTRACT) The development of high integrity embedded systems remains an arduous and error-prone task, despite the efforts by researchers in inventing tools and techniques for design automa- tion. Much of the problem arises from the fact that the semantics of the modeling languages for the various tools, are often distinct, and the semantics gaps are often filled manually through the engineer's understanding of one model or an abstraction. This provides an op- portunity for bugs to creep in, other than standardising software engineering errors germane to such complex system engineering. Since embedded systems applications such as avionics, automotive, or industrial automation are safety critical, it is very important to invent tools, and methodologies for safe and reliable system design. Much of the tools, and techniques deal with either the design of embedded platforms (hardware, networking, firmware etc), and software stack separately. The problem of the semantic gap between these two, as well as between models of computation used to capture semantics must be solved in order to design safer embedded systems.

Yes UML is a complicated language with a lot of diagrams, model elements, a complex syntax and semantic; and most people claim that it takes a long time to learn that language. But: if we concentrate our efforts to the most important part of the language you will be able to become familiar with it in a day. And: use it frequently, then you’ll get the less important things by use and by reading a good book: the standard (visit the web pages from OMG and you’ll manage to download the standard, it’s free of charge). History The “OO tower” of Babel In the early Nineties there was a vast amount of competing object oriented modeling approaches together with corresponding kinds of diagrams and CASE environments which, sometimes more and sometimes less, differ from each other.

  • Deriving Architecture Design Variants for System Optimization from Design Space Descriptions Expressed Using a Uml Profile
    DERIVING ARCHITECTURE DESIGN VARIANTS FOR SYSTEM OPTIMIZATION FROM DESIGN SPACE DESCRIPTIONS EXPRESSED USING A UML PROFILE Alexander Wichmann Francesco Bedini Ralph Maschotta Armin Zimmermann Technische Universität Ilmenau Department of Computer Science and Automation System and Software Engineering Group PO-Box 100 565, 98684 Ilmenau, Germany [email protected] ABSTRACT In complex (dynamic) systems, models are usually too complex for a direct evaluation, and simulation is the method of choice (indirect optimization). Another aspect is the structure of the design space for complex system. In a recent paper of the authors, an approach is presented for design space description with a UML profile-based description of architectural variations of complex dynamic systems. In orderto execute a simulation of a system variant, one has to be chosen based on the used heuristic, and specified in a standardized way to be used for constructing the actual simulation model with the use of a library of template models. This paper approaches a method to automatically generated individual UML object models from the design space specification for a given parameter selection. Keywords: UML profile, architecture design space description, system optimization, design variants 1 INTRODUCTION Model-based systems design is an important help in the design process of complex systems and aims at reduced risks and better design decisions without the need to implement costly prototypes. In the end, each engineering task can be viewed as an optimization problem of finding the best design alternative under given constraints. However, automatic optimization methods can often not be used because of the complexity of the problem field.

José Alegria Junho de 2009 Dedico este trabalho à minha família e à minha namorada, Ana. Não teria conseguido sem o vosso apoio. Muito obrigado. i Abstract Enterprises are growing increasingly hungry for information: the will to empower decisions with carefully digested data, the wish of transform all implicit knowledge into clearly dened, explicit repositories that can be shared by all and the desire to monitor all aspects of their internal dynamics. In the past decade, the rush to technology has created several aws when it comes to managing computers, applications, mid- dleware and information systems and so organisations struggle to understand how all these elements are behaving. Even today, as Enterprise Architectures grow in signicance and are acknowledged as advantageous arti- facts to help manage change, their benet to the organisation has yet to be fully explored. We therefore combine our desire for real-time evaluation with the benets of architecture representation to produce an ontologically supported method of modelling, capturing and evaluating systemic behaviour. We produce a conceptual framework to performing this task, while avoiding the imprecise denitions of quality and quality attributes. According to our abstraction, transfering that responsibility to the end user is essencial since such aspects are subjective and depend on the human context in which they exist. This conceptualisation was materialised in a model-eval-display loop framework, and implemented using Model Driven Software Development practices and tools.

  • A UML Profile for Delta-Oriented Programming to Support Software
    A UML Profile for Delta-Oriented Programming to Support Software Product Line Engineering? Maya R. A. Setyautami1, Reiner Hähnle2, Radu Muschevici2, and Ade Azurat1 1 Fakultas Ilmu Komputer Universitas Indonesia Depok, Indonesia {mayaretno|ade}@cs.ui.ac.id 2 Department of Computer Science Technische Universität Darmstadt, Darmstadt, Germany {haehnle|radu}@cs.tu-darmstadt.de Abstract. Feature-based approaches to software design, like delta-ori- ented programming, are well-suited to support multi-product software development paradigms, such as Software Product Lines. Currently, the popular UML notation does not support delta-oriented software design, so that several ad-hoc notations tend to be used. This paper presents a systematic approach to import concepts from delta-oriented programming into the mainstream notation UML. This is done with minimal overhead by specifying a new, slim, delta-oriented UML profile. It is compatible with languages that support delta-oriented programming such as DeltaJ and ABS. The usefulness of the profile is evaluated with a case study. 1 Introduction The modeling of product variability—to identify and to manage the commonalities and differences among software products—is a key issue of any software product line (SPL) development process [14]. Variability modeling spans all phases of SPL development, from analyzing the problem by gathering requirements, to design and implementation of a solution in the form of software. Variability modeling is thus a concern in both the problem space and the solution space. In the problem space, variability is typically modeled by abstracting require- ments to features and describing dependencies between features in a feature model [10].
