Aonix Introduces Ameos and UML Modeling for Safety-Critical Applications; Demo launches at Embedded World in Nurnberg, February 17-19.Business Editors/High-Tech Writers Embedded World Booth: 312 NURNBERG, Germany--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Feb. 16, 2004 Aonix(R), an independent global company delivering complete solutions for safety- and mission-critical applications, announced that two real-time modeling solutions have been integrated into their Ameos modeling environment at the Embedded World in Nurnberg. Ameos, an 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. (R) modeling environment, now offers support for the Ravenscar Profile The Ravenscar profile is a subset of the Ada tasking features designed for safety-critical hard real-time systems. Restrictions of the profile A Ravenscar Ada application uses the following compiler directive: pragma Profile (Ravenscar); and OMOS, an object-oriented modeling Object-Oriented Modeling, or OOM, is a modeling paradigm mainly used in computer programming. Prior to the rise of OOM, the dominant paradigm was functional programming, which emphasised the use of discreet reusable code blocks that could stand on their own, take variables, perform concept for Electronic Control Units (ECU). Both solutions have been proven in safety- and mission-critical real-time projects in industries such as automotive, transportation and avionics. Aonix has always strongly supported the Ravenscar Profile which was adopted at the Eight International Real-Time Ada Workshop (IRTAW-8) in Ravenscar, UK. The standard accommodates certification requirements for high-integrity, safety-critical real-time systems Real-time systems Computer systems in which the computer is required to perform its tasks within the time restraints of some process or simultaneously with the system it is assisting. . Aonix offers ObjectAda Real-Time RAVEN(TM), which employs a small and very fast real-time, DO-178B certified kernel for safety critical applications. The predefined UML 2.0 Ravenscar profile in Ameos adds modelings capabilities and transformation rules that target Raven-based development projects. OMOS, originally developed by Bosch, is a modeling concept for ECUs. OMOS takes advantage of object-oriented techniques while avoiding their typical run-time and memory requirements. Well-defined transformation rules use C as the target language and offer a description of how to model and form variants of software systems for various target implementations. Both templates have been integrated into Ameos, Aonix' next-generation modeling tool. Ameos provides UML 2.0 profile support and MDA-based model transformation. The Ameos Profile Editor allows stereotypes and tagged values to be defined and assigned to model elements of the UML Metamodel, ensuring that profiles are well-designed, documented and easy to use for the entire project team. This powerful approach extends standard UML, easing the design process for real-time developers. Ameos provides a transformation engine based on OMG (1) See Object Management Group. (2) "Oh my God!" See digispeak. OMG - Object Management Group (TM)'s Model Driven Architecture. Predefined templates describe, how the models are mapped to the target environment. Using this approach, developers can more easily target various programming languages like Java, C/C C/C Center to Center C/C Combustion Chamber C/C Command/Control C/C Crew Chief C/C cabin cruiser (US DoD) C/C chief complaint (medical) C/C Channel-to-Channel C/C Communication and Collaboration ++ and Ada and to fulfill safety critical standards such as DO-178B, EN 50128, and IEC (International Electrotechnical Commission, Geneva, Switzerland, www.iec.ch) An organization that sets international electrical and electronics standards founded in 1906. It is made up of national committees from over 60 countries. IEC - International Electrotechnical Commission 61508. "Our predefined Raven and OMOS profiles offer mission- and safety-critical developers some powerful development tools," noted Michael Benkel, Aonix Director Product Marketing. "For applications involving rigorous certification processes, developers gain the better modeling capability and model transformation of the UML profiles--all pretailored to real-time mission- and safety-critical processes." Ameos' packaging targets specific user groups like Modeler, Analyst and Developer and starts at $995. These solutions are available immediately on Windows and Linux platforms. A Sun Solaris version will follow shortly. About Aonix(R) Aonix is a global independent provider of Software Engineering Development Environments with more than 20 years of experience. Our products cover Analysis and Design (Ameos(TM), Software through Pictures(R) and Architecture Component Development(R)), GUI (Graphical User Interface) A graphics-based user interface that incorporates movable windows, icons and a mouse. The ability to resize application windows and change style and size of fonts are the significant advantages of a GUI vs. a character-based interface. Design (TeleUSE(TM)) and implementation in Ada (ObjectAda(R), AdaWorld(R)), Embedded Java See PersonalJava. , high-performance real-time kernels (Raven(TM)) and Software-Testing. As a pioneer in current market trends such as Model Driven Architecture(R) (MDA (1) (Monochrome Display Adapter) The first IBM PC monochrome video display standard for text. Due to its lack of graphics, MDA cards were often replaced with Hercules cards, which provided both text and graphics. See PC display modes and Hercules Graphics. ), Embedded Java and the development of safety-critical applications Aonix addresses the needs of mission- and safety-critical applications for various industries including Avionics, Space, Defense, Transportation, Telecoms, Automotive, and Industry in general. Professional training, consulting and local technical support guarantees our customers the successful development and deployment of their applications. Headquartered in San Diego, CA and Paris, France, Aonix operates sales offices throughout North America and Europe in addition to a network of international distributors.
