COMDES Development Toolset

This paper presents the COMDES Development Toolset, which supports component-based development of embedded software in a model-driven fashion. The tool, which is built on the Eclipse platform, provides facilities for the graphical specification of a COMDES application. Once the application is specified, the application model is used as input to a transformation engine that generates the final configuration model involving pre-defined component models that are retrieved from a component repository. This model is finally used to generate source codes and executable, which is deployed in the target system.
