Design and Development of a Communication Middleware for Distributed Embedded Systems Using Code Generation

Abstract: With the increasing need for larger and morepowerful distributed embedded systems comes the need formore tools to manage them. One area where such a tool isneeded is the internal communication for a distributed embeddedsystem. This project focuses on the development of such atool, namely the development of a communication middlewarewhose network configuration is automatically generated by apredefined network model. The middleware is responsible forrouting information on the network and relieves the applicationdeveloper of this responsibility. By using a multi-layer approach,additional functions can be easily implemented.The middleware demonstrated reasonable results for simplenetworks. However, it does not take into account the timingcharacteristics of the platform. A fact that currently preventsits use in most large networks.
