Applying Holistic Schedulability Tests to Industrial Systems : Experience and Lessons Learned

Several holistic schedulability tests exist in the literature, but they are not always used in the industry. One possibility to increase the usability of such tests, by system designers, is to implement them in scheduling analysis tools. This paper shows an experience on applying holistic schedulability tests to an industrial TDMA software radio protocol from Thales, by implementing the tests in Cheddar, a scheduling analysis tool. Our experience learned through this experience shows advantages and issues of applying such tests in the industry.
