Abstract

Over the years, schedulability of Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) has mainly been performed by analytical methods. Those techniques are known to be effective but limited to a few classes of scheduling policies. In a series of recent work, we have shown that schedulability analysis of CPS could be performed with a model-based approach and extensions of verification tools such as UPPAAL. One of our main contribution has been to show that such models are flexible enough to embed various types of scheduling policies that go beyond those in the scope of analytical tools. In this paper, we go one step further and show how our formalism can be extended to account for stochastic information, such as sporadic tasks whose attributes depend on the hardware domain.
