Robust Adaptive Metrics for Deadline Assignment in Distributed Hard Real-Time Systems

Distributed real-time applications usually consist of several component tasks and must be completed by its end-to-end (E-T-E) deadline. As long as the E-T-E deadline of an application is met, the strategy used for dividing it up for component tasks does not affect the application itself. One would therefore like to ``slice'' each application E-T-E deadline and assign the slices to component tasks so as to maximize the schedulability of the component tasks, and hence the application. Distribution of the E-T-E deadline over component tasks is a dif
