Abstract: This paper presents PROTOB, an object-oriented methodology and CASE system based on an extended dataflow model defined using PROT nets. It consists of several tools supporting specification, modelling and prototyping activities. As its major application area it addresses distributed systems, such as real-time embedded systems, communication protocols and manufacturing control systems. The system automatically generates the distributed and object-oriented implementation code in Ada exploiting advanced features of the language such as tasks and packages.
Keywords: PROTOB; object oriented methodology; PROT net; computer-aided software engineering (in) Ada; communication protocol; manufacturing control system.
