Abstract

This paper addresses how domain analysis served to help create reusable architectures and components in the development of a real-time embedded system. The resulting product is Motorola’s FLEX™ Kernel, a set of components to support development of portable wireless communication devices. The paper discusses this experience in terms of discovering and developing reusable frameworks for this domain. Our approach to incorporating tailorability into these components is described and compared with a recently published approach.
