DERIVING TIMING REQUIREMENTS AND CONSTRAINTS FORIMPLEMENTATION OF MULTIRATE CONTROL APPLICATIONS

To successfully design and implement multirate control applications in distributed computer systems there is aneed to bridge the gap from design to implementation. One important prerequisite to accomplish this for realtimesystems, is to appropriately derive and model application timing requirements. Moreover, theserequirements must be translated into timing constraints that are suitable for implementation, thereby providingmeans for interaction between control and computer engineers. The derivation and analysis of timingrequirements and timing constraints are treated for an important class of real-time systems, namely multiratesampled data control applications.
