Probabilistic modelling and evaluation of soft real-time embedded systems

Soft real-time systems are often analysed using hard realtime techniques, which are not suitable to take into account the deadline misses rate allowed in such systems. Therefore, the resulting system is over-dimensioned, thus expensive. To appropriately dimension soft real-time systems, adequate models, capturing their varying runtime behaviour, are needed.
In 2005, Stevens Institute of Technology’s System Design and Operational Effectiveness (SDOE) Program added audio lectures to their online Fundamentals of Systems Engineering course. This paper compares results from four instantiations of this online course with no audio lectures delivered in 2004 to results from three instantiations of the same online course with audio lectures delivered in 2005.
