The successful implementation of Service-Oriented Computing (SOC) for the development of Distributed Embedded Real-time Systems (DERTS) in the recent years has proved the importance of service-orientation over previous paradigms. However, efforts are still needed on systematic service-oriented design of DERTS, especially on the modeling of DERTS. Several UML profiles are proposed for modeling of embedded real-time system and SOC separately. However, a holistic modeling solution, covering both the domains, is still missing. Therefore, a thorough investigation of existing UML profiles is necessary before proposing the holistic modeling solution. In this regard, this paper investigates two UML profiles: MARTE and SoaML profiles from the view of service-oriented development of DERTS. The paper highlights the portions of the two profiles that can be adopted and provides some suggestions that can be used for service-oriented modeling of DERTS. The results of this investigation would be useful in developing a service-oriented based meta-model for DERTS.
