Abstract: The thesis deals with scheduler and controller co-design for real-time control systems. The overall goal is higher resource utilization and better control performance. One goal is to minimize the performance loss due to jitter and control delays. Another goal is to relax the nominal requirements on hard deadlines and fixed worst-case execution times. A third goal is to provide a co-simulation environment for real-time control systems.
