Schedule validation for embedded reactive real-time systems
Felice Balarin, Alberto Luigi Sangiovanni-Vincentelli · 1997
Task scheduling for reactive real time systems is adifficult problem due to tight constraints that theschedule must satisfy.A static priority schemeis proposed here that can be formally validated.The method is applicable both for preemptiveand non-preemptive schedules and is conservativein the sense that a valid schedule may bedeclared invalid, but no invalid schedule may bedeclared valid.Experimental results show thatthe run time of our validation method is negligiblewith respect to other steps in system designprocess, and compares favorably with othermethods of schedule validation.
