Abstract

This paper develops a requirement modeling language called CosRDL for modeling and analyzing of the time series embedded control systems. The system consists of a series of parallel active task that is composed of the functions for different control behaviors, which is largely applied in the development of embedded control systems. CosRDL can specify the features event-driven behaviors, and each event in CosRDL can contain such as input/output and communication of active objects. The active object is a concept model that expresses a computing or control processing. It contains a set of operation, an event queue and task priority. A requirement model and system model of the CosRDL is proposed for analyzing event-driven control systems. The requirement model of CosRDL is built by directed acyclic graph (DAG) to describe the system behavior. The system model of CosRDL is built by uFusion framework. The uFusion was designed to implement the event-driven system architecture. Meanwhile, a case study is presented to illustrate our approach to requirement modeling in the development of event-driven control systems.
