Embedded Modeling at Eclipse - a tale of two dialects
The most observant amongst you may have noticed that there are two "competing" Eclipse open source products to develop models for embedded systems and that both are part of both the Eclipse PolarSys Working Group and of the Eclipse Papyrus Industry Consortium!
These projects are:
* Eclipse Papyrus for Real Time, implementing UML-RT
http://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.papyrus-rt
* Eclipse Papyrus for xtUML, implementing xtUML
https://projects.eclipse.org/projects/modeling.papyrus-xtuml
This leads to questions as to which "dialect" should be picked by embedded software engineers!
This talk will demystify both tools by presenting their:
* Differences and similarities
* Strengths and weaknesses
* Integrations and interfaces
We will also address the various ways in which they can coexist as part of a system or even in an integrated way. Resulting in a more complete, all-encompassing solution for embedded software development, followed by a short demonstration.
We will conclude by describing our plans for both dialects within Eclipse, PolarSys and the Papyrus Industry Consortium.
