ReTiS: a real-time simulation tool for the analysis of distributed real-time applications

This paper presents a simulation tool for real-time applications analysis. Simulation concerns the operational architecture and takes into account the executable code of real-time tasks and the execution support model: set of processors, network and basic software (real-time executive and communication system). We show A mechanism allowing to track data transfers and its interest for the analysis of the temporal behavior of real-time programs in a distributed system.
