EclipseCon 2014 - Modeling symposium lightning talk - Papyrus-RT
The document outlines improvements in embedded software development productivity by leveraging UML-RT (Unified Modeling Language Real-Time) and related tools. It discusses available features such as code generation, runtime services, and plans for enhanced support and customization on platforms like Linux. The document also invites further discussion and collaboration at a conference.

Editor's Notes
- #3 Modeling, by itself, is a good way of coming to grips with large, complex, software intensive systems. Papyrus already provides this by supporting UML 2.5 along with many of its profiles and extensions, such as SysML and MARTE. But what could be better?
- #4 Better is being able to generate some code out of this. Again, Papyrus provides a UML to C++ code generator, driven by a C++ profile and domain library. However, you are still left with the need to build some code to ensure that the application compiles and builds. So what could be even better?
- #5 The best is to be able to specify everything you need to actually generate a running model. For reactive systems described by state machines, this is achieved with the UML-RT (UML-RealTime) tools being developed for Papyrus.
- #6 UML-RT is a variant of ROOM (RealTime Object-Oriented Methodology) based on UML – it is a UML-based DSML targeted at reactive embedded systems. The main building blocks are capsules, which are UML composite structures, that are driven by state machines. The example here shows a simple PingPong system designed in Papyrus with the UML-RT profile.
- #7 As of today, we have a UML-RT profile implementation that can be found as an incubation component within Papyrus. The rest of the UML-RT tooling is based on this profile, along with the already existing C++ profile and model library. Although not yet available as part of the Papyrus Build, we have a code generator that will create everything that is required to produce a running executable from capsules, protocoles, ports and connectors, as well as being able to transform a hierarchical state machine into a flattened code representation. State machine actions are coded using C++ opaque actions. The code generator uses Xtend, another Eclipse technology, as its transformation engine. Supporting all of this we have a basic C++ runtime service library providing capabilities such as thread controllers, communication mechanisms, and timers. At this point, we are only supporting Linux targets.
- #8 The next step will be to create an Eclipse project proposal to bring what we have done into the Eclipse family. At the same time, we will continue to advance the code generation and service library capabilities, as well as taking a look at creating a full UML-RT DSML based on Papyrus’ extensibility and configurability capabilities.
- #9 Our main goal is with Mars, when we intend to release the first version of the tool. Zeligsoft is also planning on announcing commercial support, training, and consulting services for the UML-RT tooling at that time.
- #10 Note that this has not been a single-company initiative. The organizations on this slide have all made contributions to this project. Notes on slide: Moka is a Papyrus module for execution of UML models, which natively includes an execution engine complying with OMG standards fUML and PSCS (which deal with execution semantics of UML). Moka is integrated with the Eclipse debug framework to provide control, observation and animation facilities over executions. Moka can be easily extended to support alternative execution semantics, and thereby be adapted to multiple usage scenarios and domains.
