Formal Simulation and Analysis of the CASH Scheduling Algorithm in Real-Time Maude

چکیده
This paper describes the application of the Real-Time Maude tool to the formal specification and analysis of the CASH scheduling algorithm and its suggested modifications. The CASH algorithm is a sophisticated state-of-the-art scheduling algorithm with advanced capacity sharing features for reusing unused execution budgets. Because the number of elements in the queue of unused resources can grow beyond any bound, the CASH algorithm poses challenges to its formal specification and analysis. Real-Time Maude extends the rewriting logic tool Maude to support formal specification and analysis of object-based real-time systems. It emphasizes generality of specification and supports a spectrum of analysis methods, including symbolic simulation and (unbounded and time-bounded) reachability analysis and LTL model checking. We show how we have used Real-Time Maude to experiment with different design modifications of the CASH algorithm using both Monte Carlo simulation and reachability analysis. We could quickly and easily specify and analyze these modifications using Real-Time Maude, and discovered subtle behaviors in the modifications that lead to missed deadlines.

متن کاملFormal Visual Modeling of Real-Time Systems in e-Motions: Two Case Studies
e-Motions is an Eclipse-based visual timed model transformation framework with a Real-Time Maude semantics that supports the usual Maude formal analysis methods, including simulation, reachability analysis, and LTL model checking. e-Motions is characterized by a novel and powerful set of constructs for expressing timed behaviors. In this paper we illustrate the use of these constructs — and the...
متن کاملReal-time Scheduling of a Flexible Manufacturing System using a Two-phase Machine Learning Algorithm
The static and analytic scheduling approach is very difficult to follow and is not always applicable in real-time. Most of the scheduling algorithms are designed to be established in offline environment. However, we are challenged with three characteristics in real cases: First, problem data of jobs are not known in advance. Second, most of the shop’s parameters tend to be stochastic. Third, th...
متن کاملA multi-objective resource-constrained project scheduling problem with time lags and fuzzy activity durations
The resource-constrained project scheduling problem is to find a schedule that minimizes the project duration subject to precedence relations and resource constraints. To further account for economic aspects of the project, one may add an objective of cash nature to the problem. In addition, dynamic nature and variations in real world are known to introduce uncertainties into data. Therefore, t...
متن کاملA Preemptive multimode resource constrained project scheduling model with cash flows
Resource constrained project scheduling problem is one of the most important issues in project planning and management. The objective function of this problem is to minimize the completion time of a project. When there is budget constraint or high risk for investment, using the criteria such as cash flows is so important. The development of computer systems and processors makes it possible to t...
