Systems that interact with the physical world can be designed in either an event- triggered (ET) paradigm or a time-triggered (TT) paradigm. Most real-time systems today are designed in the TT-paradigm because it is easier to achieve predictable performance. However, when some critical aspect of the system changes, designs based on the TT-paradigm must be completely revised. Modern application require systems to be flexible and reliable. Since the event-triggered systems are fundamen- tally designed as a colletion of loosely coupled local entities, it was interesting to investigate the predictablity of ET-systems. This investigation focused on a ET-design for operating a MicroFactory, which is a physical simulation of a discrete assembly system. The design was im- plemented and evaluated using a collection of networked embedded microcontrollers. Common tasks in a discrete assembly environment were captured as a collection of primitives. These primitives were redesigned and implemented in the ET-paradigm. Experimental results collected reflect the performance at the level of a single node and at the level of the system. Results were studied in comparison with similar ones obtained using a design that was based on the TT-paradigm. In the future, principles and techniques for reconfigurability can be incorporated in the proposed framework.
