Abstract Real-time systems (RTS) scheduling is an important component in real-time systems education and research. Dozens of well-known scheduling algorithms are introduced in many textbooks. It is desireable that, given a set of real-time task specifications, a dedicated software tool carries out the schedulability analysis and schedule generation. This thesis presents the design and development of such a tool. The tool implements some most popular RTS scheduling algrorithms, such as the...

Overview The goal of managing data access in a distributed system is to maintain a consistent view of the data from all areas of the system. Different areas of the system need to make decisions based on what the data looks like to them. If different areas see the data differently, functionality will be affected. For example, if one subsystem in a core switching product sees a certain equipment as entered into the system database, but another subsystem does not, a command will be denied rendering...
