Aspect-Oriented UML Modeling for Developing Embedded Systems Product Lines

Overview In today's post-PC era, embedded systems are increasingly more software-driven, as more and more of the functionality is placed in software. Although the conventional software industry has been relatively successful, little progress has been observed in the area of development methodologies for embedded systems, and current approaches are not entirely satisfactory. For the most part, embedded software is still written by hand in response to natural language descriptions of functionality, which is custom-written repetitively from scratch each time a system is built for the hardware being considered.
