Automatic implementation of real-time object-oriented models and schedulability issues

The object oriented design methods and their CASE tools are widely used in practice by many real time software developers. However, object oriented CASE tools require an additional step of identifying tasks from a given design model. Task identification is usually performed in an ad-hoc manner using hints provided by human designers. The authors present ongoing research into schedulability-aware, automatic synthesis of multi-threaded implementation of a real time object oriented design. We present several feasible implementation strategies and architectures. We propose our approach to automatic implementation and address schedulability issues involved in our approach
