Design decisions and assumptions resulting in priority assignments are 
no different from design decisions and assumptions resulting in buffer 
sizes, control-loop coefficients, and other kinds of design features. 
You either document them or you don't, depending on your customers' 
requirements and on your own quality standards.

Just as free as they are to change buffer sizes and control-loop 
coefficients. They either know what they are doing (helped by 
documentation, if it exists) or don't know what they are doing. As I've 
said, all my day-job projects deliver extensive design documentation, 
including SW Budget Reports with task priorites and their motivations.

Good for you and your customers. I hope they pay you for it, too. I 
suspect that for many mass-market products the customer (i.e. the entity 
who subcontracts SW development) only cares that the SW works, but is 
not interested in its design details.

As I have said, I usually rely on deadline-monotonic priority assignment 
and its response-time analysis. There is a huge literature on scheduling 
methods and schedulability analysis methods, for hard real-time systems, 
soft real-time systems, and mixtures. I know only a little bit about the 
hard-real-time part and almost nothing about the soft-real-time part. In 
my day-job projects, the soft-real-time part is non-critical and is 
validated by stress tests on practical-worst-case test scenarios agreed 
with the customer.

If this is about server operating systems, with an unpredictable mix of 
batch, interactive, and network/transaction applications, it's a 
different ball-game. And mobile handsets are more and more coming to 
resemble such servers, with the profusion of applications of every 
possible nature. I have no contributions to make in those domains.

Where will this course be given? Will it be on the net, perhaps as a MOOC?

The hard-real-time tasks tend to be periodic, but sporadic ones also 
occur. The softer tasks are usually sporadic.

Configuration parameters and commands usually flow from the 
soft-real-time part to the hard-real-time part, and the hard-real-time 
part usually generates data into buffers that are emptied by the 
soft-real-time part. Rather typical control & measurement systems.

The most common complex task interaction is a communication channel 
shared by several tasks. For example, a hard-real-time task may be 
communicating cyclically over the channel, while some soft-real-time 
tasks must use the same channel for sporadic communications.

If you have decided that static priorities, or some other specific 
scheduling principles, don't work for you in this application, fine, use 
something else. But IME static priorities do work for many other 
applications.

Again you confuse "importance" with "urgency". For example, some inputs 
have HW buffers (FIFOs), some have not; typically processing the 
buffered inputs is less urgent than the unbuffered inputs. Or you can 
provide a SW buffer, filled by an interrupt handler, for an input that 
does not have a HW buffer, and correspondingly relax the urgency of the 
task reading the SW buffer.

If you are saying that all *inputs* are equally urgent, fine, poll them 
all in a single task and delegate the input data processing to other 
tasks in order of urgency of the *outputs*. If you think that all the 
outputs are equally urgent, too, then do everything in a single task -- 
the "Task Loop" in our Subject.

In priority-based systems, the typical solution to overload is to 
implement load-refusing mechanisms such as ignoring interrupts that are 
too close together. Whether this can be made to work well enough for the 
application to react gracefully under overload depends on the system 
design (including the HW design).

The SW can control the rate at which it accepts inputs for processing.

The environment always determines the offered load. In case of overload, 
depending on the robustness requirements of the SW the SW may be allowed 
to fail severely or be required to degrade gracefully. Apparently in the 
system you describe the latter case obtains, but then the proper design 
depends on the precise definition of "gracefully".

If a specific graceful handling of overloads is required then I agree 
that the system acquires soft-real-time aspects. But some hard-real-time 
aspects may remain, if overload is still considered an anomaly. If the 
load that you call "overload" is actually expected, I would not call it 
"overload" at all, just a load for which all inputs cannot be processed 
in the same way as under lesser loads.

As I said, I know almost nothing about soft-real-time scheduling, but I 
remember seeing published papers with similar methods: value functions 
that depend on the elapsed time of a computation or the expected time of 
delivery of the result. I don't doubt that they can work, even if the 
definition of such value functions seems to me more problematic and 
ad-hoc than the definition of priority.

Soft-real-time "schedulability" analyses usually focus on maximising the 
total "value" delivered or the overall Quality of Service, not on 
computing or minimising worst-case response times.

As I think I've said in some earlier post, IMO for hard-real-time 
systems the analysability limit comes from the increasing complexity of 
task interactions in large systems. That can be combated with better 
modular design and with systematic task interaction patterns.

While small systems may be "trivial" from an academic point of view, 
there are certainly applications that are small enough to be provably 
analysed but still are non-trivial in terms of importance and value to 
the customers.
