Model-driven Engineering Metrics for Real Time Systems

As with other software development processes, model-driven engineering of real time software systems include quality assurance and measurement. Model-driven engineering (MDE) supports the development of real-time software systems by means of a set of languages, processes, methods and tools. To measure the models, a dedicated measurement software has to be developed, which is costly. In this paper, we propose a framework to concisely define and automatically implement an open-ended family of metrics for real time software systems. The overall contribution of this approach is to give an instant, reliable and low cost implementation of model metrics seamlessly integrated into modeling tools.
