Fixed priority worst case response time analysis is well studied and is widely used in many real systems to guarantee deadline-based timing requirements in concurrent systems. This paper addresses the use of a non-bounded interference function in analysis. An outline of a probabilistic analysis is presented which is based on a simple random arrival model. The analysis produces a probability distribution of response times. The analysis is derived from an analysis of random faults on CAN and inherits some limitations from this.
