Toward Parametric Timed Interfaces for Real-Time Components
We propose here a framework to model real-time components consisting of concurrent real-time tasks running on a single processor, using parametric timed automata. Our framework is generic and modular, so as to be easily adapted to different schedulers and more complex task models. We first perform a parametric schedulability analysis of the components using the inverse method. We show that the method unfortunately does not provide satisfactory results when the task periods are consid- ered as parameters. After identifying and explaining the problem, we present a solution adapting the model by making use of the worst-case scenario in schedulability analysis. We show that the analysis with the inverse method always converges on the modified model when the system load is strictly less than 100 parametric analysis for the generation of timed interfaces in compositional system design.
