This paper focuses on priority assignment for realtime systems using fixed priority scheduling. It introduces and defines the concept of a “robust” priority ordering: the most...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
Abstract. The Real Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) is an augmentation of Java for real time applications of various degrees of hardness. The central features of RTSJ are real t...
The liveness characteristics of a system are intimately related to the notion of fairness. However, the task of explicitly modelling fairness constraints is complicated in practice...
At early stages in the design of real-time embedded applications, the timing attributes of the computational activities are often incompletely specified or subject to changes. Lat...
