Abstract

Distributed and real-time embedded systems, in which collections of
independent computers interoperate, appear to users as a single coherent system
by creating "systems of systems". The scale and complexity of such
systems makes it infeasible to deploy them in standalone configuration, which
highlights the necessity of more systematically designed and implemented
communication protocol assets. These assets should be not only close-to error
proneness with abstraction, but also reusable to achieve maximum efficiency and
effectiveness during software development life cycle. To address these
challenges in a specific industrial context, we designed and implemented
reusable artifact for communication protocols via model driven engineering with
the help of design pattern usage. This artifact is currently in use by many
teams in the company as we report its solution approach and its impacts in this
paper.
