Domains

Domains provide the specific design abstractions and concepts, QoS analysis procedures, component models and model translations to transform a standard UML-based modeling toolkit into a powerful domain specific IDE

Domain specializations are an integral part of the Zeligsoft CX solution and our ability to save your development teams a huge amount of time and money. Domain specializations convert a standard UML modeling tool (such as RSM) into a powerful domain-specific software development toolkit, or IDE.  They enable you — or your teams — to:

• Model your systems with higher level concepts and abstractions that are commonly used in your industry and business
• Automate elements of the development process, including QoS analysis and the generation of error prone communication and control software

Here's how domain specializations deliver on the promise of huge productivity gains.

The key to realizing new efficiencies

The embedded market is characterized by numerous component model frameworks and various technologies that teams have to juggle:

• Real Time Operating Systems (RTOS), abstraction layers, compilers, debuggers, processors, product life cycles, communication technologies, to name a few.

To achieve new breakthroughs in efficiency, a methodology and tool must:  

• Allow the user to use domain-specific abstractions through out the development process
• Avoid any system performance degradation caused by the use of higher level abstractions
• Maximize the automation of as much of the process as possible, including model analysis and validation
• Integrate with industry leading tools to provide a complete best-in-class IDE

That's exactly what our domain specializations do.

How Zeligsoft domains work

Our domains work by encapsulating specific industry, platform and/or component framework knowledge, as well as validation and transformation (translation) engines. This enables the Zeligsoft CX component modeling tool to be:

• Specialized to accommodate a specific target platform or component framework, such as AUTOSAR, wireless telecom, software communications architecture (SCA), or CCM
• Enhanced with concepts and abstractions from the problem/solution space (domain), that can then be used to develop applications more rapidly and ensure the resulting designs are more comprehensible
• Modified to include additional behavior models (i.e. specific state machine definitions) that support more rapid development of certain classes of applications

Zeligsoft has developed a number of domains to support several key environments — and dramatically shorten the development time on various projects. We also partner with customers to create domains for their specific needs.
