Abstract
The needs of low-power embedded software are being increased. Along with the needs, the studies to predict the power consumption of embedded software are also being increased. Although existing studies for power analysis have been performed in source code-based, these code-based analysis have some shortages of long analysis time and much feedback efforts. Recently some studies of power analysis based on software models are prompted. This paper describes on the model-based approach using UML diagrams in embedded software development process. Specially we focus on the extension of OMG's MARTE Profile to support model-based analysis. The MARTE extension gives the possibility of power analysis using just UML diagrams without any other analysis model in embedded software development.
