The second year review of the project has been schedule for Tuesday June the 29th 2010, at 14:00h in the Radisson Blu Arlandia Hotel, Stockholm, Sweden.
The recent adoption of the UML MARTE standard is a great success issued from an intensive work launched four years ago by THALES, CEA LIST and INRIA and supported by a large international and representative consortium including important tool editors (ARTISAN, IBM/Rational/ Telelogic/I-Logix, MathWorks, Mentor Graphics…), users (Alcatel-Lucent, France Telecom, Loocked-Martin, THALES…) and academics (CEA LIST, INRIA, SEI/Carnegie Mellon Univ., Univ. Cantabria, Univ. Carleton…). In parallel we observe an intense activity in embedded domains, in particular for automotive and avionics, to standardise and deploy component-based middleware technologies. These activities are by essence strongly linked to the modelling approaches, in particular regarding architecture descriptions and non-functional requirements. The two domains automotive and avionics have developed their own specification and execution platform standards (AADL, ARINC, AUTOSAR, EAST-ADL2, OSEK…) and are looking to integrate some other related approaches such as LwCCM or UML/SysML profiles with particular interests on non-functional property descriptions (this covers, namely, resource, timing, and safety requirements). Interfaces to these standards have already been proposed and defined in MARTE. However, the knowledge of MARTE in the embedded community, both on industry and on academia side, is not sufficient to ensure a good level of understanding of its capacities and its use. The objective of ADAMS is thus to trigger the knowledge dissemination by exploiting MARTE in industrial practice amongst others by restructuring or refining MARTE methods and tools based on feedback from practice.
