Real-Time Reconfigurable Scheduling of Aperiodic OS Tasks

The paper deals with the real-time scheduling of reconfigurable embedded systems which can change their behavior at run-time by adding, removing, or also updating OS tasks according to external events or also user requirements. We propose a new approach that checks the system´s feasibility of the tasks that we assume periodic and a periodic while minimizing their response times. An agent-based architecture is proposed to provide run-time technical solutions for users in order to reach again the system´s feasibility after any reconfiguration scenario. The effectiveness and the performance of the designed approach is evaluated through simulation studies.
