Abstract

In a previous work, we propose a technique to decide feasability of periodic hard real-time systems based on finite automata. Here, associating generating functions (whose role is “to predict the future”) to a finite automaton, we extend this technique to hard sporadic tasks, independent or interdependent with the periodic tasks.
