The process of guaranteeing that a distributed real-time control system will meet its timing constraints, is referred to as schedulability analysis. However, schedulability analysis algorithm cannot be simply used to analyze the system because of complex calculations of algorithm. It is difficult for control engineer to understand the algorithm because it was developed in a software engineer's position. In this paper we introduce a Response-time Analysis Tool(RAT) which provides easy way far system designer to analyze the system by encapsulating calculation complexity. Based on the RAT, control engineer can verify whether all real-time tasks and messages in a system will be completed by their deadline in the system design phase.

In this paper, An imprecise real-time task sets composed of multimedia datas are generated using several parameters and an algorithm which can analyse schedulability of generated imprecise real-time task sets before execution of this task sets is proposed. Also, The schedulability of task set depends on variation of parameter values which were used during the generation of the task set is studied. As a result of experiment, It isproved that the schedulability of task set is more and more weak as large as execution requirement time of mandatory subtasks and, as many as the number of tasks which can be scheduled at some instant. The schedulabilty analysis algorithm which is presented on this paper is expected to use effectively on QoS service of multimedia datas.

This paper presents an approach for scheduling network messages with real-time dynamic algorithms. We present the method that calculates an intermediate relative deadline of the message based on the EDF(Earliest Deadline First) scheduling policy. We adjust the slack of message by using this intermediate relative deadline to allocate a priority of message. The priority of the message can be determined accurately by using the slack that calculates in our approach, which increases the schedulability efficiency of the message. As a result, we reduce the worst-case response time and improve the guarantee ratio of real-time messages. Also, we describe the analysis method to check the schedulability on message sets, and show the efficiency of our approach by comparing the results of the DM(Deadline Monotonic) approach and the existing EDF approach with that of the improved EDF in our approach through the simulation.

Real-time support of embedded OS is not optional, but essential in contemporary embedded systems. In order to achieve these system#s real-time property, it is crucial that schedulability analysis for tasks having its property have been accomplished before system execution. Acquiring Worst-Case Execution Time(WCET) of task is a core part of schedulability analysis. Because traditional WCET tools analyze only its estimation of application task(i.e. program), it is not considered that application tasks are affected by scheduling primitives(e.g. scheduler, interrupt service routine, etc.) of OS when it schedules them. In this paper, we design and implement WCET analysis tool which deliberates on scheduling primitives of system using embedded Linux widely used in embedded OSes. This tool can estimate either WCET of normal application programs or corresponding primitives which have an influence on schduling property in embedded Linux kernel. Therefore, precision of estimation about schedulability analysis is improved. We develop this tool as Eclipse#s plug-in to work properly in any platform and support convenient interface or functionality for user.

In safety critical hard real-time systems, a timing fault may yield catastrophic results. In order to eliminate the timing faults from the fast responsive real-time control systems, it is necessary to schedule a code based on high precision timing analysis. Further, the schedulability enhancement by having multiple processors is of wide spread interest. However, although an instruction level parallel processing is quite effective to improve the schedulability of such a system, none of the real-time applications employ instruction level parallel scheduling techniques because most of the real-time scheduling models have not been designed for fine-grain execution. In this paper, we present a timing constraint model specifying high precision timing constraints, and a practical approach for constructing static schedules for a VLIW execution model. The new model and analysis can guarantee timing accuracy to within a single machine clock cycle.

Researches about scheduling of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points, not scheduling both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages or being unable to guaranteeing the end-to-end constraints due to omitting precedence relations between sporadic tasks. So this paper proposes a new scheduling method for distributed real-time systems consisting of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages, guaranteeing end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

The existed approaches to analyzing real-time schedulability take place exponential time and space complexity of this methods, since these uses a fixed priority scheduling and/or traverse all possible state spaces. This paper judges whether it is satisfied a given deadlines for real-time processes regarding a minimum execution time of process, periodic, deadline and a synchronizion time of processes by using the transaction rules of process algebra, and proposes a retrieval algorithm for unschedulable processes based on GUI environment. And we implement and evaluate the scheduling state analyzer that displays visually the result of schedulabiliy analysis for real-time processes.

The scheduling methods of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points. They did not schedule both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages at the same time or did not consider the end-to-end constraints such as precedence relations between sporadic tasks. This means that system scheduling must guarantee the constraints of practical systems and be applicable to them. This paper proposes a new scheduling method that can be applied to more practical model of distributed real-time systems. System model consists of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages and has end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

Schedulability analysis is necessary to build reliable embedded real-time systems. For schedulability analysis, worst-case execution time(WCET) analysis that computes upper bounds of the execution times of tasks, is required indispensably. WCET analysis is done in two phases. The first phase is high-level analysis that analyzes control flow and finds longest paths of the program. The second phase is low-level analysis that computes execution cycles of basic blocks taking into account the hardware architecture. In this thesis, we design and implement integrated WCET analysis tools. We develop the WCET analysis tools for XScale-based system called WATER(WCET Analysis Tool for Embedded Real-time system). WATER consist of high-level flow analyzer and low-level execution time analyzer. Also, We compare real measurement for execution of program with analysis result calculated by WATER.
