    abstract     = "We present an approach to bus access optimization and schedulability analysis for the synthesis of hard real-time distributed embedded systems. The communication model is based on a time-triggered protocol. We have developed an analysis for the communication delays proposing four different message scheduling policies over a time-triggered communication channel. Optimization strategies for the bus access scheme are developed, and the four approaches to message scheduling are compared using extensive experiments."
