Scenario-based multitasking for real-time object-oriented models

Contemporary embedded systems quite often employ extremely complicated software consisting of a number of interrelated components, and this has made object-oriented design methodologies widely used in practice. To implement an object-oriented model in given target hardware, it is imperative to derive a set of tasks from the designed objects. This process of determining tasks and the events they handle greatly influences the real-time performance of the resultant system including response times and real-time guarantees. However, the innate discrepancies between objects and tasks make this exceedingly difficult, and many developers are forced to find their task sets through trial and error. In this paper, we propose Scenario-based Implementation Synthesis Architecture (SISA), an architecture consisting of a method for deriving a task set from a given object-oriented model and the development tools and run-time system architecture to support the method. A system developed with SISA guara...
