One of the most important activities during the development of multi-rate real-time systems is to analyze the end-to-end timing. In this paper, we discuss the implementation plan and preliminary work regarding the integration of end-to-end latency analysis for component-based multi-rate real-time systems (both in single-node and distributed systems) within the analysis framework of Rubus-ICE. The Rubus-ICE is an existing industrial tool suite for component-based development of distributed real-time embedded systems. Further, we present the implementation methodology to integrate two end-to-end latency semantics, i.e., data age and data reaction within the existing holistic response-time analysis plug-in of Rubus-ICE.
