Overview
ABSTRACT
In order to meet the challenge of the increasing complexification of electronic systems, the abstraction level must be constantly heightened. This is the case within the software sector with UML and model-based engineering as well as within that of the SystemC material and electronic system level. This article presents the UML MARTE profile which provides with a coherent and unified language for any designing and analysis needs for real-time systems embedded within the framework of a model-based engineering.

INTRODUCTION
To meet the challenge of increasingly complex electronic systems, it is necessary to constantly raise the level of abstraction. This is the case in the software domain with UML and model-driven engineering, and in the hardware domain with SystemC and the electronic system level. We present here the MARTE UML profile, which provides a coherent, unified language for all the design and analysis needs of real-time embedded systems within the framework of model-driven engineering.
To deal with the challenge of the increasing complexity of electronic systems, we must constantly raise the abstraction level. This has been done in the software domain with UML and model driven engineering and in the hardware domain with SystemC and the electronic system level. We present here the MARTE UML profile that provides a coherent and unified language for all the design and analysis needs of real time embedded systems in a model driven engineering approach.
