Abstract

In this paper we investigate the problem of optimal priority
assignment in fixed priority pre-emptive single processor
systems where tasks have probabilistic execution
times. We identify three sub-problems which optimise different
metrics related to the probability of deadline failures.
For each sub-problem we propose an algorithm that
is proved optimal. The first two algorithms are inspired
by Audsley’s algorithm which is a greedy (lowest priority
first) approach that is optimal in the case of tasks with
deterministic execution times. Since we prove that such a
greedy approach is not optimal for the third sub-problem,
we propose a tree search algorithm in this case.
