Minimizing System Modification in an Incremental Design Approach

Paul Pop, Petru Eles, Traian Pop, Zebo Peng

AbstractIn 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.
