Abstract
Middleware for distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems has grown more and more complex in recent years, to address functional and temporal requirements of complex real-time applications. While current approaches for modeling middleware have eased the task of assembling, deploying and configuring middleware and applications, a more formal, fundamental and lower-level set of models is needed to be able to uncover subtle safety and timing errors introduced by interference between computations, particularly in the face of alternative concurrency strategies in the middleware layer. In this paper, we examine how formal models of lower-level middleware building blocks provide an appropriate level of abstraction for both modeling and synthesis of a variety of kinds of middleware from these building blocks. When combined with model checking techniques, these formal models can help developers in constructing correct combinations and configurations of middleware mechanisms, for each particular application.
