Embedded Reconfiguration of TSN: Dual Reconfiguration with Dropping and Reclaiming

Authors: Álex Gracia, Alitzel G. Torres-Macías, Juan Segarra, José Luis Briz, Antonio Ramírez-Treviño, and Héctor Blanco-Alcaine

Published in: LITES, Volume 11, Issue 1 (2026). Leibniz Transactions on Embedded Systems, Volume 11, Issue 1


Abstract
This paper presents our solution to the Industrial Challenge on embedded reconfiguration of Time-Sensitive Networking (TSN), held at the 37-th ECRTS. The challenge requires restoring, at runtime and without precomputed solutions, the schedules of streams affected by a link failure in a realistic avionics network. Our solution applies a DROP policy at all bridges to purge the affected streams, updates Gate Control Lists (GCLs) accordingly, reclaims the transmission windows held by the dropped streams on operational links, and applies incremental scheduling to restore as many streams as possible in priority order. Transmission windows of the rescheduled streams are fit into the available gaps without modifying the schedule of unaffected streams. After the incremental scheduling stage, a last-resort mechanism purges all lower-priority streams than any yet-unscheduled critical stream, reclaims their resources, and retries; sacrificed streams are subsequently tested for rescheduling. Evaluated on the benchmark of the challenge - 5 bridges, 15 end-stations, and 241 streams across eight criticality classes - the system achieves perfect recovery in all eight single-link failure scenarios, with total reconfiguration times below 4.4 s. In a harder scenario, reducing the topology to a linear chain through four simultaneous link failures, all safety-critical streams are still recovered. Activating the last-resort mechanism recovers six additional lower-priority streams, with 96.9% of sacrificed streams subsequently re-rescheduled. This paper extends our original challenge submission with a formal algorithm description, a comprehensive experimental evaluation using Gurobi, and the priority-driven last-resort mechanism.

Industrial Challenge Description
Embedded Reconfiguration of TSN (Industrial Challenge Description)

Authors: Marc Boyer and Rafik Henia

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 335, 37th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2025)


Abstract
The sets of Ethernet extensions known as "Time Sensitive Networking" (TSN) is a promising candidate as the next backbone of real-time distributed systems. The flexibility of TSN is also an opportunity to reconfigure the network in presence of faults. This white paper presents an avionic case study for a TSN reconfiguration.

From FMTV to WATERS: Lessons Learned from the First Verification Challenge at ECRTS (Invited Paper)

Abstract
We present here the main features and lessons learned from the first edition of what has now become the ECRTS industrial challenge, together with the final description of the challenge and a comparative overview of the proposed solutions. This verification challenge, proposed by Thales, was first discussed in 2014 as part of a dedicated workshop (FMTV, a satellite event of the FM 2014 conference), and solutions were discussed for the first time at the WATERS 2015 workshop. The use case for the verification challenge is an aerial video tracking system. A specificity of this system lies in the fact that periods are constant but known with a limited precision only. The first part of the challenge focuses on the video frame processing system. It consists in computing maximum values of the end-to-end latency of the frames sent by the camera to the display, for two different buffer sizes, and then the minimum duration between two consecutive frame losses. The second challenge is about computing end-to-end latencies on the tracking and camera control for two different values of jitter. Solutions based on five different tools - Fiacre/Tina, CPAL (simulation and analysis), IMITATOR, UPPAAL and MAST - were submitted for discussion at WATERS 2015. While none of these solutions provided a full answer to the challenge, a combination of several of them did allow to draw some conclusions.

Budgeting Under-Specified Tasks for Weakly-Hard Real-Time Systems

Authors: Zain A. H. Hammadeh, Sophie Quinton, Marco Panunzio, Rafik Henia, Laurent Rioux, and Rolf Ernst

Published in: LIPIcs, Volume 76, 29th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS 2017)


Abstract
In this paper, we present an extension of slack analysis for budgeting in the design of weakly-hard real-time systems. During design, it often happens that some parts of a task set are fully specified while other parameters, e.g. regarding recovery or monitoring tasks, will be available only much later. In such cases, slack analysis can help anticipate how these missing parameters can influence the behavior of the whole system so that a resource budget can be allocated to them. It is, however, sufficient in many application contexts to budget these tasks in order to preserve weakly-hard rather than hard guarantees. We thus present an extension of slack analysis for deriving task budgets for systems with hard and weakly-hard requirements. This work is motivated by and validated on a realistic case study inspired by industrial practice.
