Adequacy between AUTOSAR OS specification and real-time scheduling theory

AUTOSAR (AUTOmotive Open System ARchitecture) consortium is a development partnership between the main actors of the automotive manufacturing industry. It aims at defining an open standardized software architecture, in order to face the future challenges in automotive development. One of the important challenge concerns the development of time-critical systems, e.g. brake-by-wire or steer-by-wire. In order to master the development of such systems, one must be able to understand and analyze their real-time behavior. Responses to this problem can be found in the real-time scheduling theory, especially schedulability analysis techniques. In this paper, we propose a review of a subset of the AUTOSAR Operating System specification from a schedulability analysis point-of-view.
