The design of distributed embedded systems is a challenging task that requires raising the level of abstraction to handle the different involved concerns. In particular, standard modeling languages and precise semantics specification are necessary to address the networking-related aspects at a high level of abstraction. The Unified Modeling Language (UML) and its MARTE profile are valid formalisms to model real-time embedded systems but they lack precise modeling elements when addressing applications and platforms forming distributed embedded systems. In this work, we formalize a coherent set of modeling elements for the design and deployment of distributed embedded systems. A novel UML profile for networking is proposed as a semantic and syntactic extension to the UML Profile for MARTE: The Network Profile.
