English abstract:
Embedded systems typically have to fulfill certain real-time constraints. Worst-case execution time analysis (WCET) has to be done to reason about the timing behaviour of those systems. Current techniques for static WCET analysis tools are not mature enough to be used for modern processors in an industrial-strength environment. In this paper we present a WCET analysis approach that allows to calculate the WCET of modern processors automatically. The approach exploits additional knowledge about the code structure in application specific domains in combination with an hybrid analysis method. The hierarchical application development environment Matlab/Simulink has been selected as an example for such application specific domains for WCET analysis.
