Using scenario based programming to develop embedded control software

A new paradigm to develop embedded software is waking up the interest of companies. Its name is Scenario Based Programming and it claims to be a good approach to develop embedded software. Live Sequence Charts (LSC), a visual language supporting the paradigm, enables the developers to specify a system by implementing scenarios in an intuitive way. A code generator allows transforming the charts into executable Java/AspectJ code.Océ is a company that is continuously looking for new approaches that could improve its software development process and Scenario Based Programming could help for such goal. This project is intended to analyze whether it is possible, or not, to implement a proof of concept which includes representative functionalities of common products developed at the company.This report explains the model/design of a proof of concept and it includes the results achieved, lessons learned, conclusions, and recommendations for the future
