A Rely-Guarantee Specification of Mixed-Criticality Scheduling

Software Engineering 2022-07-15 v2

Abstract

The application considered is mixed-criticality scheduling. The core formal approaches used are Rely-Guarantee conditions and the Timeband framework; these are applied to give a layered description of job scheduling which includes resilience to jobs overrunning their expected execution time. A novel formal modelling idea is proposed to handle the relationship between actual time and its approximation in hardware clocks.
