Complex distributed embedded systems require comprehensive tooling that spans multiple development phases and provides consistency across design and runtime. This work is significant in integrating model-driven engineering with actual system deployment, enabling developers to reason about system properties at design time while maintaining flexibility for runtime adaptation.
This paper presents DREMS, a toolchain and platform infrastructure for designing, implementing, configuring, deploying, and maintaining distributed real-time embedded systems. The work describes a complete development workflow from modeling tools through deployment, including support for reusable components and automated code generation.
The DREMS platform successfully integrates design-time modeling with code generation and runtime management, demonstrated through deployment of satellite cluster applications. The infrastructure provides automated synthesis of system configurations, constraint validation, and runtime management of application components across distributed nodes.
