This paper presents the algorithms and Matlab Toolbox for co-simulation of distributed real-time control system based on OSEK-OS and CAN protocol. This toolbox enables the developers to analyze the timing uncertainty, which is caused by resource sharing including shared memories and networks, and to take the timing uncertainty into consideration in the early design phase. Furthermore, this toolbox helps the developers to model the behaviors of a control system by providing graphical user interface for objects of OSEK-OS and CAN. To prove the feasibility of this toolbox, a vehicle body network system is modeled with this toolbox, and the timing uncertainties are analyzed.

In this paper, we designed real time mechanism control language and proposed execution time analysis technique. It was impossible to handle real-time mechanism control programs like programmable controller, numerical controller, distributed control system and robot controller with general purpose programming languages and operating systems because they have to process electric signals generated by thousands of sensors at the same at the same time and in real time. So we made it possible to predict plausibility of time constraint constructs of tiem constraint construct of a real time application program at compilation time by adding time constraint constructs and mechanism synchronization structure to conditional statement and iteration statement of a programming language and developing execution time analysis technique.

Real-time operating systems must have satisfying various conditions such as effective scheduling policies, minimized interrupt delay, resolved priority inversion problems, and its applications to be completed within desired deadline. The real-time operating systems, therefore, should be designed and developed to be optimal for these requirements. MicroC/OS-II, a kind of Real-time operating systems, uses the basic priority inheritance with a mutex to solve priority inversion problems. For the implementation of mutex, the kernel in an operating system should provide supports for numerous tasks with same priority. However, MicroC/OS-II does not provide this support for the numerous tasks of same priority. To solve this problem, MicroC/OS-II cannot but using priority reservation, which leads to the waste of unnecessary resources. In this study, we have dealt with new design a protocol, so called TPSP(Temporary Priority Swap Protocol), by an effective solution for above-mentioned problem, eventually enabling embedded systems with constrained resources environments to run applications.

In this study, a smart motor control and monitoring system is developed with an embedded board where Intel PXA255B CPU is mounted. Linux is ported into the embedded board as RTOS(Real Time Operating System), and the environment which communicate with a motor driver through serial protocol and is capable of controlling and monitoring the motor in real time is built in the system. A user friendly GUI is developed for the convenient operation of the system. Also, the environment which is able to control and monitor the motor driver remotely is built in the system using TCP/IP protocol.

In this paper, we propose a mechanism for both scheduling the hybrid-task set which consists of periodic and aperiodic tasks and recovering tasks with transient faults on the level of the operating system. Existing embedded operating systems would not provide the scheduling of both periodic and aperiodic tasks. Also because of not supporting the recovery of task failures, they can not prevent system failure from transient task faults. Proposed method, on the level of operating system, is able to not only meet the deadlines of all periodic tasks but also complete the execution of aperiodic tasks. In addition, it is able to prevent the system failure from transient task faults by recovering the task faults.

For real-time applications, the underlying operating system (0S) should support timeliness guarantees of real-time tasks. However, most of current operating systems do not provide timely management facilities in an efficient way. There could be two approaches to support timely management facilities for real-time applications: (1) by modifying 0S kernel and (2) by Providing a middleware without modifying 0S. In our approach, we adopted the middleware approach based on the TMO (Time-triggerred Message-triggered Object) model which is a well-known real-tine object model. The middleware, named TMSOM (TMO Support Middleware) has been implemented on various OSes such as Linux and Windows XP/NT/98. In this paper, we mainly consider TMOSM implemented on Linux(TMOS/Linux). Although the real-time schedul-ing aIgorithm used in current TMOSM/Linux can produce an efficient real-time schedule, it can be improved for periodic real-time tasks by considering several factors. In this paper, we discuss those factors and propose an improved real-time scheduling algorithm for periodic real-time tasks, In order to simulate the performance of our algorithm, we measure timeliness guarantee rate for periodic real-time tasks. The result shows that the performance of our algorithm is superior to that of existing algorithm. Additionally, the proposed algorithm can improve system performance by making the structure of real-time middleware simpler.

General purpose operating systems are Increasingly being used for serving time-sensitive applications. These applications require soft real-time characteristics from the kernel and from other system-level services. In this paper, we explore various operating systems techniques needed to support time-sensitive applications and describe the design of MUSMA(Multi-level Scheduler for Multimedia Application). MUSMA is a framework that combination of user-level top scheduler and kernel-level bottom scheduler. We develope MUSMA in linux environment and it's performance is evaluated. Experiment result shows that it is possible to satisfy the constraints of multimedia in a general purpose operating system without significantly compromising the performance of non-realtime applications.

With the progress of information-oriented society, many device with advanced technologies invented by many companies. However, the current firmware technologies have many problems to meet such high level of new Technologies, Recently it become necessary new manufactures of information-oriented society to require such embedded operating system as their system-level platform. Embedded linux, which could be on alternative proposal of existing high-cost embedded operating system, become available commercially by many companies Linux has many programs, But, embedded databases require very high cost. In this paper, we suggest ERT DE which has a small size and is suitable for embedded real-time technologies.

실시간 운영 체제(Real-Time Operating System)는 특정 태스크가 정해진 시간 안에 수행될 수 있도록 시간 결정성(Determinism)을 보장하는 운영 체제이다. 실시간 운영테제는 멀티태스킹(Multitasking) 및 ITC(InterTask Communication 혹은 IPC, Interprocess Communication)을 제공한다는 점에서는 일반 운영체제인 Unix$^{TM}$, Linux$^{TM}$, Windows$^{TM}$ 등과 같지만, 시간 결정성을 보장한다는 점에서 일반 운영 체제와 다르다. 또만 실시간 운영 체제를 포함한 임베디드 시스템(Embedded System)은 일반적으로 디지털 카메라, 디지털 TV, DVD 등에서 수행되므로 실행 이미지(Image) 크기가 작아야 한다. 본 논문에서는 실시간 운영체제의 실행 이미지를 줄이면서 시간 결정성을 보장한 수 있도록 메모리 관리 체계를 설계하고 구현한 내용을 설명한다.

State estimators are used to monitor the operating states of power systems in modern EMS. It iteratively calculates the voltage profile of the currently operating power system with voltage, current, and power measurements gathered from the entire system. All the measurements are usually assumed to be obtained simultaneously. It is practically impossible, however, to maintain the synchronism of the measurement data. Recently, phasor measurements synchronized via satellite are used for the operation of these power systems. This paper describes the modified state estimator used to support the processing of synchronized phasor measurements. Synchronized phasor measurements are found to provide synchronism of measurement data and improve the accuracy/redundancy of the measurement data for state estimation. The details of the developed state estimation program and some numerical results of operation are presented.
