A Component-Oriented Programming for Embedded Mobile Robot Software

A Component-Oriented Programming for Embedded Mobile Robot Software

Applying software reuse to many Embedded Real-Time (ERT) systems poses significant challenges to industrial software processes due to the resource-constrained and real-time requirements of the systems. Autonomous Mobile Robot (AMR) system is a class of ERT systems, hence, inherits the challenge of applying software reuse in general ERT systems. Furthermore, software reuse in AMR systems is chal...

A Safe Aspect-Oriented Programming Support for Component-Oriented Programming

Abstract— In this paper we show that Aspect-Oriented Programming (AOP) can be safely supported by ComponentOriented Programming (COP) by providing a way to control the openness of a component with regards to AOP techniques. Our proposal reconciles the intrusive nature of AOP with the ”black box property” of components in COP. We build a compromise between modularity and openness applying the op...

An Aspect-Oriented Approach for Mobile Embedded Software Modeling

Recently, it is one of the most challenging fields in software engineering for embedded software development, since the advancement of embedded technologies has made our life increasingly depend on embedded systems and increased the size and complexity of embedded software. Embedded software developers must pay attention to not only performance and size but also extensibility and modifiability ...

Agent-oriented software patterns for rapid and affordable robot programming

Robotic systems are often quite complex to develop; they are huge, heavily constrained from the non-functional point of view and they implement challenging algorithms. The lack of integrated methods with reuse approaches leads robotic developers to reinvent the wheel each time a new project starts. This paper proposes to reuse the experience done when building robotic applications, by catching ...
