A model-based architecture for interactive run-time monitoring

Abstract

We present a model-based architecture for monitoring executions of models of real-time and embedded systems. This architecture is highly configurable and allows for the combination of various run-time monitoring tools, not only for observing the system execution, but also for interacting with it. Using a variety of case studies, we illustrate the use of the architecture for connecting the code generated from a model with a range of external tools for different purposes, including execution animation and run-time verification. However, the external tool can not only consume information from the execution, but also generate input for it and thus influence and steer it.
