Predictability and Techniques for Schedulability Analysis

Abstract

A typical real-time application involves the use and control of expensive equipment, possibly in situations where a missed deadline may well lead to substantial damage, including loss of human life. For many real-time systems it is thus of paramount importance that they adhere predictably to their critical timing constraints. A real-time system must be tested, analysed and checked to adhere to its critical timing constraints before the system is put in place.KeywordsCritical RegionCritical SectionSchedulability AnalysisExecutable CodeSegment TreeThese keywords were added by machine and not by the authors.
