A UML Profile for Real Time Industrial Control Systems

  • Conference paper

Part of the book series: Communications in Computer and Information Science ((CCIS,volume 257))

Abstract

A model is a simplified representation of the reality. Software models are built to represent the problems in an abstract way. Unified modeling language is a popular modeling language among software engineering community. However, due to the limitations of unified modeling language it does not provide complete modeling solution for different domains, especially for real time and industrial control system domains. The object-oriented modeling of real time industrial control systems is in its growing stage. In this research we have evaluated the existing profiles for modeling real time industrial control systems. We have identified limitations of the existing modeling notations and proposed a new profile which overcomes the existing limitations. Our profile is based on unified modeling language’s standard extension mechanism and the notations/symbols used are according to international electrotechnical committee standard.
