A Framework for the Response Time Analysis of Fixed-Priority Tasks with Stochastic Inter-arrival Times

Ref: HURRAY-TR-060102       Publication Date: Jan 2006

Abstract:
Real-time scheduling usually considers worst-case values for the parameters of task (or message stream) sets, in order to provide safe schedulability tests for hard real-time systems. However, worst-case conditions introduce a level of pessimism that is often inadequate for a certain class of (soft) real-time systems. In this paper we provide an approach for computing the stochastic response time of tasks where tasks have inter-arrival times described by discrete probabilistic distribution functions, instead of minimum inter-arrival (MIT) values.
