Timing Analysis in the Industrial Development Process, Paphos, Zypern

Many safety&#8211;critical embedded systems have to satisfy hard real&#8211;time constraints&#046; These systems need sound methods and tools to derive reliable run&#8211;time guarantees&#046; The guaranteed run times should not only be reliable, but also precise&#046; The achievable precision is highly dependent on characteristics of the target architecture and on the software design and implementation method&#046;<br>Experience has shown that a tight integration of Timing Analysis into the development process and the development tool chain improves the achievable precision&#046; This Special Track will be concerned with questions around the integration of timing analysis in the industrial development process&#046;<br><b>Keywords:</b> Positioning Timing Analysis in the development process,<br>Implications for system design and implementation,<br>Timing predictability of embedded systems,<br>Validation of timing&#8211;analysis methods and tools,<br>Degrees of time&#8211;criticality and corresponding methods&#046;<br>
