Optimization of Partitioned Architectures to Support Soft Real-Time Applications

Abstract

In this paper we propose a new Tabu Search-based design optimization strategy for mixed-criticality systems implementing hard and soft real-time applications on the same platform. Our proposed strategy determined an implementation such that all hard real-time applications are schedulable and the quality of service of the soft real-time tasks is maximized. We have evaluated our strategy using an aerospace case study.
