In order to guarantee transaction timeliness, Realtime Database Management Systems (RTDBMSs) often relax data consistency by relaxing the ACID transaction properties. Such relaxation varies depending on the application and thus different transaction management mechanisms have to be decided for developing a tailored RTDBMS. However, current RTDBMSs development does not include systematic verific...

We consider asynchronous message-passing systems in which some links are timely and processes may crash. Each run defines a timeliness graph among correct processes: (p, q) is an edge of the timeliness graph if the link from p to q is timely (that is, there is a bound on communication delays from p to q). The main goal of this paper is to approximate this timeliness graph by graphs having some ...

A problem when testing timeliness of event-triggered real-time systems is that response times depend on the execution order of concurrent tasks. Conventional testing methods ignore task interleaving and timing and thus do not help determine which execution orders need to be exercised to gain confidence in temporal correctness. This thesis presents and evaluates a framework for testing of timeli...
