A General Framework for Analysing System Properties in Platform-Based Embedded System Designs

We present a framework (Real-Time Calculus) for analysing various system properties pertaining to timing analysis, loads on various components and on-chip buffer memory requirements of heterogeneous platform-based architectures, in a single coherent way. Many previous analysis techniques from the real-time systems domain, which are based on standard event models, turn out to be special cases of our framework. We illustrate this using various realistic examples.
