WEB-Enabled Teaching Tool: Real Time Task Scheduler in Embedded Application

The main objective of this paper is to develop the effective teaching tool to teach the task scheduling of real time task in embedded application. The proposed model can be used for preprogrammed scheduling policies. This model provides user friendly Graphical User Interface. Task ID, deadline, priority, period, computation time and phase are the input task attributes to the scheduler simulator and chronograph imitating the real-time execution of the input task set and computational statistics of the schedule are the output. This Simulator is presented as a tool to support the teaching of different concepts on real time task scheduling in real time embedded systems. With this Simulator, the lecturer can design practical examples that favor learning. Throughout this paper, we present the most interesting possibilities and facilities that this application provides for the teaching of different topics on task scheduling. This paper has been implemented as part of project funded by Council of Scientific & Industrial Research (CSIR), Govt. of India.
