Scheduling real-time processes in a visual programming environment for real-time systems (ViPERS)

摘要

In this paper we propose ViPERS, a visual programming environment designed to increase the productivity of real-time programmers, by providing visual aids for scheduling and synchronising tightly coupled real-time processes. The central piece in this environment is the schedule specification table, that provides scheduling information for real-time processes. This table is based on score metaphor, derived from music, choreography and orchestra.
