After the introduction of fieldbus technology, real-time Ethernet (RTE) systems now form the
second generation of industrial communication systems (2G ICS). A lot of different …

The aim of this paper is to show, how a multitasking application running under a real-time
operating system compliant with an OSEK/VDX standard can be modeled by timed …

This paper describes a novel method for layer-2 auto-configuration of realtime Ethernet
networks. Our approach is able to roll out local MAC addresses to the involved devices as …

This paper presents the key aspects of a model-based methodology that is proposed for the
design of component-based applications with hard real-time requirements. The …

In this paper we give an overview on a set of time related features, useful in the context of
real-time system design and classify them into two categories, those needed for modelling of …

Component-based development is a key technology in the development of software for
modern embedded systems. However, standard component models and tools are not …

Component-based development is a key technology in the development of software for
modern real-time systems. However, standard component models and tools are not suitable …

The ability to perform quantitative analysis at the requirements level supports the detection
of design errors during the early stages of a software development life cycle. This would help …

In real-time systems, the capability to achieve short or even predictable reaction times is
essential. In this paper, we take a pragmatic approach by proposing priority-based …

This paper proposes a methodology for modelling the timing behaviour of hard real-time
systems oriented to compositionality and reusability. When a system is built according to a …
