Energy efficient scheduling simulator for distributed real-time systems

Energy consumption is a critical design issue in realtime systems, especially in battery-operated systems. The focus is to provide a scheduling simulator to check if a real-time application meets its temporal constraint while minimizing system energy consumption. With this simulator tool, a real-time application is defined by a set of processors, tasks, shared resources and messages. Simulator provides feasibility tests in the case of multiprocessor and distributed systems. The flexible simulation engine also allows the designer to describe and run simulations of specific real-time systems.
