Our goal is to take account of transmission errors in the design of such applications because the consequences of such disturbances are potentially disastrous. In this study, the concept of worst-case deadline failure probability (WCDFP) is introduced. The motivation of the probabilistic approach is that, in practice, the number of errors occurring during a given time period can with difficulty be bounded. To evaluate the WCDFP, we propose, on the one hand, a method of computing for each message the tolerable threshold of transmission errors under which timing constraints are guaranteed to be met. On the other hand, we also suggest an error model enabling us to consider both error frequency and error gravity. Our error model follows a generalized Poisson process and its stochastic parameters have been derived. We then propose a numerically efficient algorithm to compute the probabilities and apply the analysis to an industrial case-study of the automotive field. ” 2000 Elsevier Science B.V.

Introduction Real-time distributed applications (DRTA, e.g. embedded applications, process control) increasingly use the controller area network (CAN) for transmitting real-time information between sensors, actuators and control devices (computers, PLC,. . .). Such applications are generally characterized by the obligation to respect stringent temporal and dependability constraints and consequently a significant part of the design process of such systems is devoted to the verification of the constraints respect. It appears essential to us to seriously take account of transmission errors in the val
