WoPANets

Aim

In the context of critical embedded systems, verification of temporal and functional constraints in the worst-case is an essential property, not only to ensure the proper functioning of the system in its environment, but also and especially to guarantee strict certification requirements, particularly for avionics and space.

The opportunity to make this worst-case performance analysis since the early design phases will allow designers to make important decisions concerning the system’s parameters tuning and dimensioning, to avoid wasting time and costs in detailed and erroneous implementation.

The tool WoPANets (Worst-case Performance Analysis of Embedded Networks) provides a first answer to this design challenge. The first applications show that WoPANets reduces development time and costs, while meeting the system requirements since the early design phases.

Key Features

System level-performance evaluation of embedded networks to prove certification requirements
Optimization-based process for design space exploration
Reduction of the design process time and costs
High interoperability thanks to its compatibility with existing design approaches, such as UML and AADL
High level models of the most common real-time networks, i.e., Ethernet, AFDX, and in the near future Spacewire, NoC and Wireless
Easy to use by any designer without any specific knowledge of the used analytical formalism due to an ergonomic GUI
High modularity and scalability to integrate new formalisms and models
