Program compilation can be formally defined as a sequence of equivalence-preserving transformations, or refinements, from highlevel language programs to assembler code. Recent mo...
gn process of embedded systems moves currently towards higher levels of abstraction. As a consequence, a need arises for an early and realistic assessment of system level design d...
Having in mind that real-time streams tolerate some deadline misses according to (m,k)-firm constraints [1], this paper presents a solution that consists in integrating (m,k)-firm ...
The commonly used task models for real-time systems focus on execution windows expressing earliest start times and deadlines of tasks for feasibility. Within these windows, execut...
Time-triggered systems are distributed systems in which the nodes are independently-clocked but maintain synchrony with one another. Time-triggered protocols depend on the synchro...
