This paper describes PERTS, a prototyping environment for real-time systems. PERTS provides a comprehensive set of design, validation, and simulation tools that are built on recent theoretical advances. It also provides software modules that implement wellknown and novel real-time scheduling algorithms, task and resource assignment algorithms, and resource access control protocols. Together, the tools and software modules support the systematic and rigorous evaluation of new designs, experimentation with alternative scheduling and resource management strategies, and the evaluation and validation of the resultant real-time system.
