A fault resilience tool for embedded real-time systems

Abstract

Real-time systems have been used in many different areas such as medicine, multimedia and mechatronics. For such systems, it is important to meet both logical and timing requirements, since a malfunction may have undesired consequences. In this paper, we developed a simulation tool in MATLAB® environment to deal with fault-tolerant real-time scheduling under Rate Monotonic scheduling policy, so that errors consequences can be envisioned, before system is put on operation.
