Schedulability

In the following section we define the notion of schedulable task.
Section Task.

Consider any type of tasks, ...
  Context {Task : TaskType}.

... any type of jobs associated with these tasks, ...
  Context {Job: JobType}.
  Context `{JobArrival Job}.
  Context `{JobCost Job}.
  Context `{JobDeadline Job}.
  Context `{JobTask Job Task}.

... and any kind of processor state.
  Context {PState : Type}.
  Context `{ProcessorState Job PState}.

Consider any job arrival sequence...
  Variable arr_seq: arrival_sequence Job.

...and any schedule of these jobs.
  Variable sched: schedule PState.

Let tsk be any task that is to be analyzed.
  Variable tsk: Task.

Then, we say that R is a response-time bound of tsk in this schedule ...
  Variable R: duration.

... iff any job j of tsk in this arrival sequence has completed by job_arrival j + R.
  Definition task_response_time_bound :=
     j,
      arrives_in arr_seq j
      job_task j = tsk
      job_response_time_bound sched j R.

We say that a task is schedulable if all its jobs meet their deadline
  Definition schedulable_task :=
     j,
      arrives_in arr_seq j
      job_task j = tsk
      job_meets_deadline sched j.

End Task.

In this section we infer schedulability from a response-time bound of a task.
Section Schedulability.

Consider any type of tasks, ...
  Context {Task : TaskType}.
  Context `{TaskDeadline Task}.

... any type of jobs associated with these tasks, ...
  Context {Job: JobType}.
  Context `{JobArrival Job}.
  Context `{JobCost Job}.
  Context `{JobTask Job Task}.

... and any kind of processor state.
  Context {PState : Type}.
  Context `{ProcessorState Job PState}.

Consider any job arrival sequence...
  Variable arr_seq: arrival_sequence Job.

...and any schedule of these jobs.
  Variable sched: schedule PState.

Assume that jobs don't execute after completion.
Let tsk be any task that is to be analyzed.
  Variable tsk: Task.

Given a response-time bound of tsk in this schedule no larger than its deadline, ...
...then tsk is schedulable.
We further define two notions of "all deadlines met" that do not depend on a task abstraction: one w.r.t. all scheduled jobs in a given schedule and one w.r.t. all jobs that arrive in a given arrival sequence.
Section AllDeadlinesMet.

Consider any given type of jobs...
  Context {Job : JobType}.
  Context `{JobArrival Job}.
  Context `{JobCost Job}.
  Context `{JobDeadline Job}.

... any given type of processor states.
  Context {PState: eqType}.
  Context `{ProcessorState Job PState}.

We say that all deadlines are met if every job scheduled at some point in the schedule meets its deadline. Note that this is a relatively weak definition since an "empty" schedule that is idle at all times trivially satisfies it (since the definition does not require any kind of work conservation).
  Definition all_deadlines_met (sched: schedule PState) :=
     j t,
      scheduled_at sched j t
      job_meets_deadline sched j.

To augment the preceding definition, we also define an alternate notion of "all deadlines met" based on all jobs included in a given arrival sequence.
  Section DeadlinesOfArrivals.

Given an arbitrary job arrival sequence ...
    Variable arr_seq: arrival_sequence Job.

... we say that all arrivals meet their deadline if every job that arrives at some point in time meets its deadline. Note that this definition does not preclude the existence of jobs in a schedule that miss their deadline (e.g., if they stem from another arrival sequence).
    Definition all_deadlines_of_arrivals_met (sched: schedule PState) :=
       j,
        arrives_in arr_seq j
        job_meets_deadline sched j.

  End DeadlinesOfArrivals.

We observe that the latter definition, assuming a schedule in which all jobs come from the arrival sequence, implies the former definition.
