The paper considers the implementation of digital controllers as real-time tasks in priority-preemptive systems. The performance of a digital feedback control system depends criti...
In the eld of safety-critical real-time systems the development of distributed applications for fault tolerance reasons is a common practice. Hereby the whole application is divid...
This paper presents a probabilistic approach to guarantee the performance of a real-time system. While traditional real-time system analysis tends to guarantee that each task inst...
We give timed automaton models for a class of Programmable Logic Controller (PLC) applications, that are programmed in a simple fragment of the language Instruction Lists as defin...
Safety-critical systems typically operate in unpredictable environments. Requirements for safety and reliability are in conflict with those for real-time responsiveness. Due to un...
Scheduling time impact on system performance increases especially when using dynamic priority algorithms, because of the enlarged computational effort at runtime. This overhead ca...

In this paper we address the real-time capabilities of P-NET, which is a multi-master fieldbus standard based on a virtual token passing scheme. We show how P-NET's medium ac...
Scheduling decisions in time-critical systems are very difficult, due to the vast number of systems' parameters and tasks' attributes involved in such decisions. Due to ...
Memory-processor integration o ers new opportunities for reducing the energy of a system. In the case of embedded systems, one solution consists of mapping the most frequently acc...
