Abstract

Rate monotonic analysis is a method of performing static schedulability analysis for hard real-time systems. The lecture will cover basic rate monotonic theory and ways in which it has been extended. In addition, it will cover how rate monotonic theory was used to recover after a system crash during Mars Pathfinder mission.
