ARTiSAN Software Tools Now Shipping Real-time Studio 4.1 To Enthusiastic Response from Military/Aerospace Customers.Business Editors, High-Tech Writers PORTLAND, Ore.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Aug. 10, 2001 Integrates With RTM (1) (RealTime Model) Refers to a system or architecture that performs operations in real time. See real time. (2) (Release/Released To M Workshop and CM Synergy The enhanced result of two or more people, groups or organizations working together. In other words, one and one equals three! It comes from the Greek "synergia," which means joint work and cooperative action. , Adds an Ada Code Generator See application generator and macro recorder. and Easy Import of Large Rose Models ARTiSAN Software Tools, a global leader for UML-based, real-time software modeling tools, today announced Real-time Studio (RtS) 4.1 is shipping to customers. RtS 4.1 adds a fully tested link to RTM Workshop from Integrated Chipware to its existing integration with leading requirements tools, such as DOORS. RtS 4.1 also integrates model management support for the CM Synergy configuration management tool in addition to existing support for SourceSafe from Microsoft, Rational's Clear Case, and PVCS A popular system of version control and configuration management software from Serena Software, Inc., San Mateo, CA, that runs on DOS, Windows, OS/2 and various Unix platforms. It is widely used on PC-based LANs. Version Manager from Merant. "We view this integration as a real plus for our customers," said Steve Hodges Stephen Brian Hodge (born October 25 1962) was an English footballer who enjoyed a high-profile club and international career in the 1980s and 1990s. Playing career Early career , CEO (1) (Chief Executive Officer) The highest individual in command of an organization. Typically the president of the company, the CEO reports to the Chairman of the Board. and president of Integrated Chipware. "Whether automotive, telecom or mil-aero, most of our customers are working on products that contain microprocessors, and they have a requirement to build real-time software systems. The combination of RTM and RtS provides real value for all these users." Another significant improvement for RtS 4.1 is its ability to automatically import large Rational Rose models. ARTiSAN is finding that a number of major accounts prefer the functionality of Real-time Studio over Rational Rose, but have a huge investment in the intellectual property in their Rose models that they can't leave behind. With RtS 4.1 customers can automatically transfer their models into Real-time Studio, and begin using a modeling tool that is better suited to developing real-time embedded systems Embedded systems Computer systems that cannot be programmed by the user because they are preprogrammed for a specific task and are buried within the equipment they serve. . RtS already has a strong reputation for facilitating scalable development -- from single users to large engineering teams -- via highly configurable access control and a 'live' repository that provides the capability for teams to easily segment projects into convenient development units and work interactively. Real-time Studio's support for round-trip engineering Round-trip engineering is a functionality of software development tools that provides generation of models from source code and generation of source code from models; this way, existing source code can be converted into a model, be subjected to software engineering methods and then includes initial code generation, regeneration, and reverse engineering of C, C++, and Java code. The release of RtS 4.1 introduces an optional Ada Generator that translates UML (Unified Modeling Language) An object-oriented analysis and design language from the Object Management Group (OMG). Many design methodologies for describing object-oriented systems were developed in the late 1980s. class models developed with RtS Professional into Ada source code. The generator supports Ada 95, SPARK 95, Ada 83 and SPARK 83. Templates for each of the four Ada variants can be used as delivered or tailored to control how specific UML constructs are mapped to Ada source. "Real-time Studio is increasingly recognized as a modeling tool that better fits the needs of real-time developers," said S. Caine O'Brien, ARTiSAN president and CEO. "With the addition of an Ada Generator, RtS 4.1 is even better placed to serve mission- and safety-critical applications in the military, aerospace, transportation, medical systems and telecommunications sectors." According to according to prep. 1. As stated or indicated by; on the authority of: according to historians. 2. In keeping with: according to instructions. 3. Jason Wootton at Raytheon Systems UK, "We chose the ARTiSAN solution of Real-time Studio as it best covered our specific project needs. Comprehensive coverage of the UML with excellent consideration of real-time issues made the product stand out, with the capability to self-document and then generate Ada code (and C/++) later in the software development stages. Confidence was further achieved due to the tool's ability to handle larger scale applications and the 'honest Joe' approach of including built-in functions to both import and export from Rose. To top it all off, support from ARTiSAN has been exceptional."
