Most timing constraint analyses for embedded systems are based on task-level timing parameters, whereas initial timing constraints are usually observed and specified with respect to visible events. In this paper, we propose a rate assignment algorithm for embedded reactive real-time systems whose timing constraints are specified by the rate of external input events. The rates of internal events which propagate through reactive chains are derived by analysis of the behavioral specification of each task. Then, from the results, we determine the rates of the tasks. We present a case study which shows that the proposed approach allows more efficient designs of embedded reactive real-time systems.
