Real-time systems are usually dependable systems which, besides timing constraints, have to meet some other quality criteria in order to provide certain reliance on its operation. For this reason, a key issue in the development of this kind of system is to trade off the different non-functional aspects involved in the system e.g., time, performance, safety, power, or memory. The success of the development process is often determined by how earlier we can make thorough assumptions and estimations, and hence, take careful decisions about non-functional aspects. Our approach to support this decision activity is based on treating non-functional properties and requirements uniformly, and still supporting specific evaluation and analysis
