N2 - Performing worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis on the highly portable real-time Java architectures without resulting in the under utilisation of the overall system has several challenges. Current WCET approaches are tied to either a particular language or target architecture. It should also be stressed that most WCET analysis approaches are usually only considered in relation to procedural programming languages. In this paper, we propose a comprehensive portable WCET analysis approach, and demonstrate how Java virtual machine timing models can be derived effectively on real-time and embedded Java-based systems.
