Abstract

Although component-based software development (CBSD) has become mainstream for conventional applications, it has remained elusive for embedded applications due to non-functional constraints. The PECOS project has demonstrated that CBSD can also be applied to severely constrained embedded devices, with timing and memory requirements being taken into account.
