Abstract

System robustness is a major concern in the design of efficient and reliable state-of-the-art heterogenous embedded real-time systems. Due to complex component interactions, resource sharing and functional dependencies, one-dimensional sensitivity analysis cannot cover all effects that modifications of one system property may have on system performance. One reason is that the variation of one property can also affect the values of other system properties requiring new approaches to keep track of simultaneous parameter changes. In this paper we present a heuristic and a stochastic approach suited for the multi-dimensional sensitivity analysis of large heterogenous embedded systems with complex timing constraints.
