Abstract
The paper presents an aspect-oriented design for embedded control software such as automotive control. In the control logic design phase, we build a control model with a CAD/CAE tool such as MATLAB/Simulink, in which “zero-time execution” is assumed. In the software design phase, we design timing issues such as task structures and mechanisms for data integrity to execute the control software in the preemptive multi-task environment. We represent mechanisms for timing design as reusable aspect patterns. We define aspect patterns of triggering methods, synchronizations and inter-task communications. We also provide a model weaver to weave the aspect patterns into the base model incrementally. In the timing design, we only have to select the aspect patterns and weave them into the functional model with the model weaver.
