    abstract     = "In this paper we present an approach to mapping and scheduling of distributed embedded systems for hard real-time applications, aiming at minimizing the system modification cost. We consider an incremental design process that starts from an already existing sys-tem running a set of applications. We are interested to implement new functionality so that the already running applications are dis-turbed as little as possible and there is a good chance that, later, new functionality can easily be added to the resulted system. The mapping and scheduling problem are considered in the context of a realistic communication model based on a {TDMA} protocol."
