Triple-T (Time-Triggered Transmission) A System of Patterns for Reliable Communication in Hard-Real-Time Systems

Computer-based hard real-time systems (where "hard real-time" denotes that the miss of a deadline will cause high risk to human lives or environment) become increasingly used in safety-critical application domains like avionics, automotive, or high-speed process control. Crucial to their successful utilisation is a reliable communication among their components as well as strict constraints on transmission times. Triple-T is a group of patterns, which not only guarantees strict constraints on transmission times. Triple-T is a group of patterns, which not only guarantees transmission durations, but also provides for solving related dependability issues.
