摘要:A simulation-based approach to measuring the fault- resilience of real-time systems is presented. Simu- lation is used to favor generality, comparability and make it possible to study the system taking into con- sideration its overall behavior instead of dealing only with worst-case scenarios. Tasks can be analyzed in- dividually, which may be useful when they have dif- ferent levels of criticality. The simulation pro cedure is e.cient since only randomly generated parts of the schedule are simulated. We show that results col- lected from simulation can then be statistically ana- lyzed for di.erent scheduling models so that one can infer the overall fault resilience for the system.
