Abstract
In the context of teaching distributed and embedded process-control it is difficult to bring students to perform efficient practical work, because the low-level underlying software technologies require too much time investment. Object-oriented modeling together with model-driven architecture provides a good solution to simplify such practical work, by automating the generation of the low-level code directly from the specifications of the process-control application. To support this approach, we have developed a model-driven application framework of about 130 distributed and embedded real-time components for RISC microcontrollers. This way, students can focus on the process-control side of their work, without having to dive (and often get lost) in the platform complexity.
