Chapter 9. Real-Time Scheduling for Cyber-Physical Systems

Bjorn Andersson, Dionisio de Niz, Mark Klein, John Lehoczky, and Ragunathan (Raj) Rajkumar

Cyber-physical systems (CPS) are composed of software (cyber) and physical parts. Implicit in this composition is the fact that they must act together in a synchronous manner. Verifying the timing of software has been the objective in studying real-time scheduling theory and, therefore, is key to the verification of its synchronization with the physical part of a CPS. The new challenges in CPS, however, call for new perspectives and solutions, which are the topics of discussion in this chapter.

9.1 Introduction and Motivation

CPS are composed of software and physical processes that must be synchronized. ...
