DERCS is a meta-model based on the concepts of Object-Oriented paradigm and Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD). It provides a executable model suitable for multi-language code generation and simulation/testing of real-time embedded systems

Distributed Embedded Real-time Compact Specification (DERCS)

DERCS is a meta-model based on the concepts of Object-Oriented paradigm and Aspect-Oriented Software Development (AOSD). It provides a executable model suitable for multi-language code generation and simulation/testing of real-time embedded systems.

There is a UML-loader which can create a DERCS model from a UML2 model file (created in Eclipse Papyrus)

Building

Run ./gradlew build (or gradlew.bat build for the windows command prompt) in a terminal.
The built jar can be found in the build/libs/ directory.

Development

The DERCS model is defined through a Eclipse Modeling Framework Ecore model.
(For a tutorial on basic usage of Ecore see e.g.: https://eclipsesource.com/blogs/tutorials/emf-tutorial/)

To make changes to the model:

1. Open the project using the Eclipse Modeling Tools
2. Edit the model in the ECoreDercsModel/model/dercs.ecore file
3. Regenerate the model code:
   1. Open the ECoreDercsModel/model/dercs.genmodel file
   2. Select the root element named "Dercs"
   3. right click and select "Generate Model Code"

Caution
Never delete the generated model source code.
The source files contain manual modifications that EMF will merge when regenerating.
If the files are deleted before regenerating these additions will be lost.
