Abstract—MDA is an approach to software development based on the design and transformation of models. In the MDA approach, models are the core artifacts throughout the software development lifecycle, and thus a key role is played by model transformations. Nevertheless, most MDA initiatives are dedicated, i.e., the platform features are implicitly employed in the transformation rules. As the aspects associated with the platform are not separated from the transformation rules, for each selected platform there must be a corresponding model transformation. This makes the model transformation development easier, although the model transformation becomes limited to a specific platform, once the platform features are strongly associated with the transformation rules. An open challenge consists of how to create transformation rules independently of the platform features. This paper presents a model transformation, called MT-AMP, particularly applied to embedded software development based on PI-MT Method. In addition, it allows the use of the model transformation to different RTOS-based platforms by means of Platform Models explicitly defined. As a result, the MT-AMP provides independence between the model transformation rules and the platform features.

Index Terms—Model driven architecture, model transformation, platform model, real-time operating systems.
