Timebench: A Visual Environment for the Design and Integration of Object-Oriented Real-Time Systems

Phase II effort consisted of design, development, implementation, and testing of the software tools TimeStorm and TimeWiz for RoseRT. The TimeBench program funded, in its entirety, the TimeWiz for Rational RoseRT tool. As a result of this Phase II SBIR, the following capabilities have been developed 1. Working in conjunction with Information Directorate researchers under a SBIR Phase II contract and through other private funding, TimeSys Corporation has developed a commercial product called TimeWiz for Rational RoseRT. This product is a customized version of the TimeSys TimeWiz product that offers significant analysis and synthesis capabilities to the users of the RoseRT modeling software. TimeWiz for RoseRT is described in more detail in Sections 4.1 and 5. 2. TimeStorm is an integrated Development Environment IDE product that will be part of the TimeSys Linux operating system, making it simple to generate TimeSys LinuxRT applications for a full range of embedded platforms. The TimeStorm environment is designed to provide this full range of productivity, no matter what the resource level of the target. TimeStorm tools execute primarily on a host development PC, with shared access to a host-based dynamic linker and symbol table for a remote target system. TimeStorm is described in more detail in Sections 4.2 and 6. 3. The Real-Time Foundation Class effort produced the Operating System Abstraction Layer OSAL. The OSAL work is described in more detail in Section 2.3 and Appendix C.
