This project will produce a fully documented and validated suite of real-time software engineering tools, operating on standard computing platforms. The tools will operate in association with a standard OMT tool, and provide an extensive facility for specifying, analysing, simulating and animating the dynamic performance of a software/hardware system.

The project builds upon the extensive theoretical base in real-time software modelling techniques, complemented by expertise in communications and manufacturing, areas in which the need to model and analyse temporal interactions is essential.

INFORMATION DISSEMINATION ACTIVITIES

The direct outcome of the project will be a new software tool, available for rapid commercialisation, via the two industrial partners, and subsequently marketed to a wide cross-section of software development companies, and educational and training institutions.
