| Abstract | As computer systems become increasingly internetworked, a challenging problem faced by researchers and developers of distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems is devising and implementing an effective shedulability strategy that can meet real-time requirements in varying operational conditions. In this paper, an extended Place-timed Petri nets (EPdPN) is proposed for schedulability analysis in DRE systems. First, we can capture important features of DRE systems and describe them by the semantic model. Second, the key component in DRE systems such as task, the relations between task, communication between module and resource et al. can be modeled by using EPdPN. Third, we present the concept of greatest concurrent set and convert schedulability problem into the analysis of state graph by using proposed algorithm, which can work out the feasible solution of scheduling in DRE systems. Finally, a specific example is given to simulate analytical process by using EPdPN, the results show that the method can be a good solution to analyze the schedulability of DRE systems. |
