    abstract     = "In this paper we present an approach to schedulability analysis for hard real-time systems with control and data dependencies. We consider distributed architectures consisting of multiple programmable processors, and the scheduling policy is based on a static priority preemptive strategy. Our model of the system captures both data and control dependencies, and the schedulability approach is able to reduce the pessimism of the analysis by using the knowledge about control and data dependencies. Extensive experiments as well as a real life example demonstrate the efficiency of our approach."
