Abstract
This paper presents a method to analyze the timing behavior of an
event-based real-time protocol composition framework. The framework,
called RTAppia, allows the development and implementation of
configurable real-time protocol stacks. The method performs the
schedulability analysis for events flowing in a real-time channel and
is based on the holistic theory for distributed real-time systems. To
illustrate the use of the model, a stack of modular reliable group
communication protocols for the CAN field-bus is analyzed and the
collected results are compared with previous work.
