ABSTRACT
This paper deals with specific issues related to the design of distributed embedded systems implemented with mixed, event-triggered and time-triggered task sets, which communicate over bus protocols consisting of both static and dynamic phases. Such systems are emerging as the new standard for automotive applications. We have developed a holistic timing analysis and scheduling approach for this category of systems. We have also identified several new design problems characteristic to such hybrid systems. An example related to bus access optimization in the context of a mixed static/dynamic bus protocol is presented. Experimental results prove the efficiency of such an optimization approach.

Design optimization of mixed time/event-triggered distributed embedded systems
CODES+ISSS '03: Proceedings of the 1st IEEE/ACM/IFIP international conference on Hardware/software codesign and system synthesisDistributed embedded systems implemented with mixed, event-triggered and time-triggered task sets, which communicate over bus protocols consisting of both static and dynamic phases, are emerging as the new standard in application areas such as ...
THE RTSC: MIGRATING EVENT-TRIGGERED SYSTEMS TO TIME-TRIGGERED SYSTEMS
In this paper, we present a prototype of the Real-Time Systems Compiler (RTSC). The RTSC is a compiler-based tool that enables the migration from event-triggered to time-triggered real-time systems. This is achieved by replacing the real-time systems ...
Static priority scheduling of event-triggered real-time embedded systems
Real-time embedded systems are often specified as a collection of independent tasks, each generating a sequence of event-triggered code blocks. The goal of scheduling tasks in this domain is to find an execution order which satisfies all real-time ...
