Prometheus

Participant : Gregor Goessler.

The BIP component model (Behavior, Interaction model, Priority) [72] [5] has been designed to support the construction of heterogeneous embedded systems involving different models of computation, communication, and execution, at different levels of abstraction. By separating the notions of behavior, interaction model, and execution model, it enables both heterogeneous modeling, and separation of concerns.

The verification and design tool Prometheus [71] implements the BIP component framework. Prometheus is regularly updated to implement new developments in the framework and the analysis algorithms. It has allowed us to carry out several complex case studies from the system-on-chip and bioinformatics domains [11] .
