RTCAnalysis: Practical Modular Performance Analysis of Automotive Systems with RTC

With the inherent complexity of heterogeneous embedded systems in the automotive domain, it becomes necessary to consider the modularity of components in such systems. Modular Performance Analysis (MPA) is a framework that attempts to analyse timing properties of these systems using the techniques of Real-Time Calculus (RTC). In this paper, we present the RTCAnalysis tool that performs practical MPA analysis on automotive systems during early design phases to identify metrics required to determine whether the system under analysis satisfies safety requirements.
