Issue 4840: Chapters 7 and 8 clarification (uml-scheduling-ftf)

Nature: Uncategorized Issue
Severity: 
Summary: "
• I am certainly not a specialist in Schedulability and Performance Analyses. Thus I can
only give a general impression. These two chapters appeared to me as the most diffi-cult
to read and understand. The risk (clearly faced by the authors themselves) is that
the concepts presented be biased toward existing tools. Another risk is that these con-cepts
rely on the new Time and resource modeling, and that the corresponding notions
need to be somewhat broken in before being applied."

Resolution: closed, no change

Discussion: 
This issue raises two kinds of concerns:
1.	Feasibility of the concepts provided in the Schedulability and Performance sub-profiles
2.	Readability of the text
Regarding feasibility, these concerns should be somewhat alleviated given that both sub-profiles have been prototyped prior to adoption and, for the schedulability sub-profile at least, have also been made available in commercial products.
Concerning readability, this could be corrected with additional text, but based on the RTF policy of minimal change, such a change is deemed outside the scope.
