Abstract:

The essential goal of the Rate Monotonic Analysis RMA for Real-Time Systems Project at the Software Engineering Institute is to catalyze improvement in the practice of real time systems engineering, specifically by increasing the use of rate monotonic analysis and scheduling algorithms. In this report, we review important decisions in the development of RMA. Our experience indicates that technology transition considerations should be embedded in the process of technology development from the start, rather than as an afterthought.
