Abstract:
1. In a system-level design and integration system which facilitates composing behavior, capturing architecture and mapping behavior onto architecture, a method for specification of scheduling for simulation and implementation of consumer embedded systems; the method comprising the steps of: a) identifying the schedulers in an architecture; b) identifying the schedulables constituting behavior; c) assigning schedulables and schedulers to each other; d) arranging for the schedulers to find their respective assigned schedulables; e) arranging for the schedulables to find their respective assigned scheduler; f) sending an event to a schedulable; g) sending an activation notice from the schedulable in step f) to its assigned scheduler; h) sending a message from the assigned scheduler of step g) to the schedulable of step f) to start its behavior's reaction; and i) sending a finish notice from the schedulable of step f) to the scheduler of step g) when said reaction is completed.
