ABSTRACT
This paper shows an attempt to model the behavior of Real Time Operating Systems. 
The model uses the discrete event paradigm and includes kernel functions as well 
as application tasks. Limited resources such as processing time and memory space 
are represented. Simulation delivers recorded data about task activity, kernel 
invocation and resource occupation. An example model and simulation results are 
demonstrated.
