Abstract

2000
Erik Wyke
Investigation of models for real-time systems: AIDA through UML and ROOM
Erik Wyke´s studied the very important problem of modelling embedded real-time systems. The thesis give an interresting and relevant survey of real-time system models. There are specific discussions of UML and ROOM, and how they can be used to support development of real-time systems. The studies were carried out at The Royal Institute of Technology (KTH), Stockholm
The thesis is available as
Pdf.


Honourable mentions
Due to the even judgements, SNART has decided to honourably mention
Alejandro Garcia, Lisbeth Johansson, and Mattias Weckstén
for the study
Real-Time Services in Myrinet Based Clusters of PCs
carried out at Högskolan i Halmstad.
The thesis is available as
Pdf.

and

Cinzia Foglietta
for the study
Assured Selection -- A Relaxed Concurrency Control Mechanism
carried out at Linköpings Tekniska Högskola.
The thesis is available as Pdf.

1999
Björn Andersson
Adaption of Time-Sensitive Tasks on Shared Memory Multiprocessors - A Framework Suggestion

The thesis gives a framework for the design of real-time systems on multiprocessors using a negotiator facility. The work is theoretically well-founded and an implementation has been made to test the approach. A well written report
The studies were carried out at Computer Systems, Chalmers.
The thesis is available as
Postscript or Pdf. An abstract is also available.

1998
Jakob Engblom
Worst-Case Execution Time Analysis for Optimized Code

The thesis gives a very good description of worst case execution time analysis for optimized code, software analysis tool and ideas how to combine the tool with a compiler. The structure and description of the field is excellent. Also, the conclusions and future work is a very good start point for Jakob Engblomís licentiate work. Combining the analysis tool and the compiler is a new approach and can give the market a strong tool in the future.
Thestudies were carried out at DoCS (ASTEC), UU, Uppsala.
The thesis is available as
Postscript or Pdf. An abstract is also available.

1997
Patrik Lantto
Requirement Analysis and Implementation of a Real-Time System Handling a Large Amount of Data
(in swedish)

The work is based on a concrete industrial problem - data acquisition in a hard real-time system. An excellent requirement analysis is made and scheduling theory is applied. The thesis also contains a prototype implementation of an optimal priority assignment scheduler. The report is well written and the work should be of general industrial interest.
The studies were carried out at IDA,LiTH and OPQ Systems AB, Linköping.
The thesis is available as
Postscript or Pdf (in Swedish). An abstract in English is also available.
