The next generation of advanced mechatronic systems is expected to behave more intelligently than todays systems. They adjust their goals and behavior according to changes of the environment or system. Characteristic for these modern applications are the increasing dynamics. To handle this dynamics new approaches in the underlying system software are required. Predictability is of paramount importance for mechatronic systems. Thus, their design has to take the worst-case into account and the maximum required resources are usually allocated upfront by each process. This is safe, but usually...
