McObject Integrates eXtremeDB With I-Logix's Rhapsody UML-Based Model-Driven Development Environment14 December 2005
McObject, developer of the eXtremeDB in-memory
embedded database, announced it has integrated eXtremeDB with I-Logix's
Rhapsody, a Unified Modeling Language (UML™)-based, award winning,
Model-Driven Development (MDD) environment. The coupling of eXtremeDB and
Rhapsody enables faster time-to-market of high quality embedded
applications that require embedded data management.
A key deliverable of the integration is a set of Rhapsody property files
that establish eXtremeDB awareness in Rhapsody projects. With I-Logix's
tool configured to work with eXtremeDB, developers can visually model their
application or system, use the eXtremeDB database Application Programming
Interface (API), and generate code that interacts with the database from
within Rhapsody. Furthermore, this integration supports the deployment of
real-time embedded applications to various real-time operating environments
through these property files, quickly and easily extending the platform
solution to various architectures and environments.
"The eXtremeDB-Rhapsody integration was spurred by requests from McObject
customers in the Military/Aerospace, Telecom, and Automotive/Infotainment
industries, where both eXtremeDB and Rhapsody are widely used," McObject
CEO and co-founder Steve Graves said.
"In these markets, our customers are continually developing more complex
applications that require data management. To address these needs, our
joint customers are asking us to make their lives easier by providing
automation and linking technologies between the embedded database and the
core embedded application logic. Now, real-time embedded developers can
easily initialize eXtremeDB, make calls to the database to perform various
transactions, and then maintain the database during operation, all through
the Rhapsody MDD environment," Graves said.
Effective immediately, McObject will provide a freely downloadable Rhapsody
integration kit with a Getting Started guide and files that add
eXtremeDB-specific configurations to Rhapsody projects. The kit works with
all versions of eXtremeDB (including eXtremeDB High Availability edition)
and on all supported platforms.

"I-Logix Rhapsody is enjoying rapid adoption, driven by the growing
complexity of embedded systems applications. Projects at this level of
sophistication almost always present data management requirements that are
beyond 'homegrown' solutions, and benefit from the addition of a proven
real-time, commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) embedded database," Graves said.
"Most actions in a Rhapsody model create, process and/or pass data, and the
eXtremeDB integration enables easy addition of data management to the
application model. I-Logix is pleased to partner with McObject and offer
the integration of eXtremeDB and Rhapsody as a means for our customers to
significantly enhance their productivity," George LeBlanc, Vice President,
Business Development said.
About Rhapsody
I-Logix Rhapsody is an award winning, UML-compliant, systems design,
application development and collaboration platform. Rhapsody is used by
design and development teams to deliver complete real-time embedded
applications. Rhapsody uniquely combines a graphical UML programming
paradigm with advanced systems design and analysis capabilities and
seamlessly links with the target implementation language, resulting in a
complete model-driven development environment, from requirements capture
through analysis, design, implementation, and test.
Rhapsody 6.0 introduces many innovations to make UML-based modeling,
simulation, code generation and test available in an intuitive and natural
manner, irrespective of a developer's methodology or language preference.
The result is a quick ramp-up, which drives the individual developer's
productivity and enhances the overall effectiveness of the development
team.
About eXtremeDB
With eXtremeDB, McObject offers a uniquely portable database management
system that meets the exceptional performance requirements and resource
constraints of intelligent, connected devices. eXtremeDB provides critical
data management features -- including transactions, concurrent access, High
Availability and a high-level data definition language -- while maintaining
a tiny code footprint (as little as 50K). As an in-memory database system
(IMDS), eXtremeDB delivers the real-time responsiveness demanded by
military/aerospace systems, consumer electronics, network infrastructure
gear, industrial control and other embedded systems.
eXtremeDB also provides sophisticated development capabilities, such as
support for complex data and varied query methods, a powerful debugging
environment including a self-diagnostic API that catches a wide range of
common programming errors before they slip into runtime code, and an
optional SQL programming interface.
About I-Logix
Founded in 1987, I-Logix is the worldwide leading provider of Collaborative
Model-Driven Development (MDD) solutions for systems design through
software development focused on real-time embedded applications. These
solutions allow engineers, operating in either small or very large teams,
to graphically model the requirements, behavior, and functionality of
embedded systems. The design is iteratively analyzed, validated, and tested
throughout the development process while automatically generated production
quality code can be output in a variety of languages. I-Logix facilitates
team collaboration through unique project and task management capabilities
integrated into its UML-based MDD solutions, enabling design review and
inter-team participation from concept-to-code, regardless of where team
members are located. I-Logix is headquartered in Andover, Massachusetts and
has sales and support centers throughout North America, Europe and the Far
East. Web: http://www.ilogix.com/
