PYI: Computer-Aided Prototyping of Real-Time Systems

快速原型是快速构建和评估拟议系统的一系列原型的过程。 计算机辅助原型系统是一套集成的工具，支持以探索性设计和广泛的原型演变为特征的迭代原型过程。 本研究的目标是通过一个计算机辅助原型系统，这是基于一个原型语言支持实时系统的建模和软件组件的重用，研究快速原型的硬实时系统。 该研究的重点是检索，适应和组合可重用组件的自动化方法;通过调度算法建立实时约束的可行性;通过代数规范模拟不可用的组件;生成翻译器和实时时间表;构建原型项目数据库;提供设计完成和错误检查设施;并建立设计和调试的图形界面。

Rapid prototyping is the process of quickly building and evaluating a series of prototypes of a proposed system. A computer-aided prototyping system is a set of integrated tools supporting an iterative prototyping process characterized by exploratory design and extensive prototype evolution. The goal of this research is to investigate rapid prototyping of hard real-time systems via a computer-aided prototyping system, which is based on a prototyping language supporting the modeling of real-time systems and the reuse of software components. The research focuses on automated methods for retrieving, adapting, and combining reusable components; establishing feasibility of real-time constraints via scheduling algorithms; simulating unavailable components via algebraic specifications; generating translators and real-time schedules; constructing a prototyping project database; providing design completion and error checking facilities; and establishing a graphical interface for design and debugging.
