Scheduling Configuration of Real-Time Component-Based Applications

Abstract: This paper proposes a strategy to manage the schedulability of realtime component-based applications that is fully compatible with the concept of component viewed as a reusable and opaque software module. The strategy is used on top of the RT-CCM technology, which extends the OMG's LwCCM technology with the purpose of building real-time distributed component-based applications that can be executed on embedded platforms and with heterogeneous communication services. The strategy is based on three services included in the RT-CCM framework, which are implemented by the containers of the components, and which are in charge of supplying the threads and the synchronization artifacts that the business code of a component requires to implement its functionality. During the components configuration process, these services are used to assign the values that lead to a schedulable application to the scheduling parameters of these threads and synchronization mechanisms, without havin...
