Scenarios in the design of flexible manufacturing systems

Scenarios in dataflow modeling and analysis

System-scenario-based design principles and applications

Introduction and organization of book material

The focus of this book is on the principles and the use of the system scenario approach. This concept effectively supports the efficient realization of systems in the presence of strong dynamic behavior. The efficiency can be obtained in a multi-dimensional cost space. Realizations can involve the mapping of applications on some type of...

Timing prediction for service-based applications mapped on linux-based multi-core platforms

We develop a model-based approach to predict timing of service-based software applications on Linux-based multi-core platforms for alternative mappings (affinity and priority settings). Service-based applications consist of communicating sequential (Linux) processes. These processes execute functions (also called services), but can only execute...

Timing analysis of First-Come First-Served scheduled interval-timed Directed Acyclic Graphs

Analyzing worst-case application timing for systems with shared resources is difficult, especially when non-monotonic arbitration policies like First-Come-First-Served (FCFS) scheduling are used in combination with varying task execution times. Analysis methods that conservatively analyze these systems are often based on state-space exploration,...
