Abstract :Distributed and real-time embedded systems, in which collections of independent computers interoperate, appear to users as a single coherent system by creating "systems of systems". The scale and complexity of such systems makes it infeasible to deploy them in standalone configuration, which highlights the necessity of more systematically designed and implemented communication protocol assets. These assets should be not only close-to error proneness with abstraction, but also reusable to achieve maximum efficiency and effectiveness during software development life cycle. To address these challenges in a specific industrial context, we designed and implemented reusable artifact for communication protocols via model driven engineering with the help of design pattern usage. This artifact is currently in use by many teams in the company as we report its solution approach and its impacts in this paper.
