What is Taste ?

TASTE in a nutshell

TASTE is a set of freely-available tools dedicated to the development of embedded, real-time systems. It was developed by the European Space Agency (ESA), together with a set of partners from the space industry.

TASTE allows software designers to easily integrate heteregeneous pieces of code produced either manually (in C or Ada) or automatically by external modelling tools such as Matlab Simulink, SCADE, or Real-Time Developer Studio.

Consistency of the integration is ensured through the use of two formal modelling languages : AADL and ASN.1.

By using TASTE, a software system architect can easily produce a complete and homogeneous system in three steps as depicted by the following figure (see below).

The tools are packaged in a pre-configured virtual machine running Linux Debian 6.0. If you want to download TASTE, go to the download page.
