Overview

There is no activity in this project at the moment.

The goal of this research is to develop methods and interactive tools for incremental static schedule construction and evaluation. Instead of providing algorithms for only the construction of schedules for a multitude of various task sets, we propose to develop methods that work by incrementally extending an existing, trusted schedule with interactive support. The resulting schedule can also be evaluated by simulations.
