ABSTRACT = {Software plays an increasingly important part in todays embedded systems. Development efforts for embedded software must consider the trade-off between fast development, maintainable code, correct as well as high-performance software. Graphical object-oriented languages can help in creating more maintainable code, while also providing better means to ensure correctness. Predictable real-time behavior w.r.t. the execution time of operations is additionally of particularly importance in the embedded domain. We present in this paper a graphical language employing graph transformations as a formal foundation. The language is especially geared for event-driven transformations of data structures. Additionally, we present our approach for worst case execution times estimation to predict software behavior in the time domain. We evaluate our approach using an example from the railway domain.}
