ABSTRACT
Modular performance analysis of real-time embedded systems plays an important role
in the design process of complex embedded systems for analyzing essential
performance characteristics of system design at an early phase. This thesis attempted to
determine the most appropriate method for system-level performance analysis of realtime
embedded systems, modelled and analysed a GPS-based Traffic Alert and
Collision Avoidance System (TCAS) and incorporated reversal logic into this TCAS.
Results from our analyses and simulation, using modern tools, show that our GPS-based
TCAS preserves the functionalities of the traditional transponder-based TCAS.
Additionally, our results show the GPS-based TCAS to be more accurate while
supporting lateral and reversal resolution advisories. While we believe these ideas will
carry over to other types of embedded systems, we note, however, that hardwaresoftware
co-simulations are often computationally complex with long running times and
the effect of program’s environment such as processor it runs on as potential limitations
of our analyses.
