Abstract: This paper presents an object-oriented method for the design, verification and implementation of embedded and distributed systems. The method is called concurrent object net (CON). The CON method is based upon extended statecharts which use specific message links for communication. For simulation and verification, corresponding Petri nets are used. A platform abstraction framework for CON accesses hardware in optimized manner. An application example from the automotive domain is used to show further CON details.
Keywords: design verification, distributed systems, embedded systems, extended statecharts, object Petri nets, object orientation.
