Rethinking the Optimization Techniques for Real-Time Systems
Abstract

Real-time systems (RTS) are embedded applications with strict timing constraints, such as automotive, robotics, and avionics. To guarantee their timing correctness, much of the effort has been dedicated to the development of validating the correctness of RTS using timing and schedulability analysis. As RTS becomes increasingly complex, there is an urgent need for efficient optimization techniques that can handle large-scale systems. This has been challenging as timing and schedulability analysis techniques are often too difficult and inefficient to use in optimization framework such as mathematical programming. Existing practice mostly relies on ad-hoc heuristics which suffer from sub-optimal solution quality and limited applicability.
