Abstract
While component technology has been widely accepted as a methodology for designing complex systems, there are few component technologies that have been developed to accommodate the characteristics of embedded systems. Embedded systems are often subject to resource constraints as well as timing constraints. Typical scarce resources include memory for cost-sensitive systems. Many techniques, developed for reducing code size, often yield code size vs. execution time tradeoffs. Our goal is to develop a framework for supporting the compositionality of resource and timing properties. The proposed framework allows component-level resource and timing properties, which include the resource/time tradeoffs, to be independently analyzed, abstracted, and composed into the system-level resource and timing properties. In this paper, we focus on the problem of composing the collective task-level code size vs. execution time tradeoffs into a component-level code size vs. execution time tradeoff.
