If the existing real-time systems are integrated based on SOA, real-time SOA should be developed. Generally, in real-time SOA a service can be divided into several small services and their estimated execution time is given by provider systems. However, an estimation, which analyzes time elements related to transmit and receive messages among requesters and providers, is needed. In order to enhance QoS of Web service, this paper proposes enhanced worst-case execution time estimation by considering WS-transaction and common use of multi-processors system.

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.

Embedded software has requirements such as real-time and environment independency. The real-time requirement is affected from worst-case execution time of loaded tasks. Therefore, to guarantee real-time requirement, we need to determine a program's worst-case execution time using static analysis approach. However, the existing methods for worst-case execution time analysis do not consider the environment independency. Thus, in this paper, in order to provide environment independency, we propose a method for measuring task's execution time from the source codes. The proposed method measures the execution time through the control flow graph created from the source codes instead of the executable codes. However, the control flow graph created from the source code does not have information about execution time. Therefore, in order to provide this information, the proposed method identifies the relationships between statements in the source code and instructions in the executable code. By parameterizing those parts that are dependent on processors based on the relationships, it is possible to enhance the flexibility of the tool that measures the worst-case execution time.

Schedulability analysis is necessary to build reliable embedded real-time systems. For schedulability analysis, worst-case execution time(WCET) analysis that computes upper bounds of the execution times of tasks, is required indispensably. WCET analysis is done in two phases. The first phase is high-level analysis that analyzes control flow and finds longest paths of the program. The second phase is low-level analysis that computes execution cycles of basic blocks taking into account the hardware architecture. In this thesis, we design and implement integrated WCET analysis tools. We develop the WCET analysis tools for XScale-based system called WATER(WCET Analysis Tool for Embedded Real-time system). WATER consist of high-level flow analyzer and low-level execution time analyzer. Also, We compare real measurement for execution of program with analysis result calculated by WATER.

Tasks scheduling have been gaining attention in both industry and research. The scheduling that ensures independent task execution is critical in real-time systems. While task scheduling has gained a lot of attention in recent years, there have been few works that have been implemented into real-time architecture. The efficiency of the classical scheduling strategy in real-time systems, in particular, is still understudied. To reduce total waiting time, we apply three scheduling approaches in this paper: First In/First Out (FIFO), Shortest Execution Time (SET), and Shortest-Longest Execution Time (SLET). Experimental results have demonstrated the efficacy of the SLET in comparison with the others in most cases in a wide range of configurations.

Intra-task voltage scheduling (IntraVS), which adjusts the supply voltage within an individual task boundary, is an effective technique for developing low-power applications. In this paper, we propose a novel intra-task voltage scheduling algorithm for hard real-time applications based on average-case execution time. Unlike the conventional IntraVS algorithm where voltage scaling decisions are based on the worst-case execution cycles, tile proposed algorithm improves the energy efficiency by controlling the execution speed based on average-case execution cycles while meeting the real-time constraints. The experimental results using an MPEG-4 decoder program show that the proposed algorithm reduces the energy consumption by up to 34% over conventional IntraVS algorithm.

This paper presents an optimal checkpoint strategy for fault-tolerance in real-time systems. In our environment, multiple real-time tasks with arbitrary periods are scheduled in the system by Rate Monotonic (RM) algorithm, and checkpoints are inserted at a constant interval in each task while the width of interval is different with respect to the task. We propose a method to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for each task so that the probability of completing all the tasks is maximized. Whenever a fault occurs to a checkpoint interval of a task, the execution time of the task would be prolonged by rollback and re-execution of checkpoints. Our scheme includes the schedulability test to examine whether a task can be completed with an extended execution time. A numerical experiment is conducted to demonstrate the applicability of the proposed scheme.

The unused Worst-Case Execution Time (WCET) allocated to a real-time task occurs when the actual execution time of the task can be far less than the WCET preassigned to the task for a schedulability test. Any unused WCET allocated to the task can be exploited to reduce the power consumption of battery-powered sensor nodes through real-time power-aware scheduling techniques. From the distribution perspective of the unused WCET, the unused WCET distribution policy is classified into three types: Conservative Unused WCET (CU-WCET), Moderate Unused WCET (MU-WCET), and Aggressive Unused WCET (AU-WCET) distribution policies. We evaluated the performance of real-time power-aware scheduling techniques incorporating each of three unused WCET distribution policies in terms of low power consumption.

In this paper, a novel method to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for real-time control task is proposed considering its performance degradation according to tasks's execution time. The control task in this paper has a specific sampling period shorter than its deadline. Control performance is degraded as the control task execution time is prolonged across the sampling period and eventually zero when reached to the deadline. A new performance index is defined to represent the performance variation due to the extension of task execution time accompanying rollback fault recovery. The procedure to find the optimal checkpoint interval is addressed and several simulation examples are presented.
