Respecting Temporal Constraints in Virtualised Services

This paper reports some experiences in providing service guarantees to real-time (RT) applications running in a Virtual Machine (VM), showing how proper scheduling is a necessary condition for a predictable execution. In particular, resource reservation techniques allow to cope with some of the overhead and unpredictabilities experienced when executing multiple VMs on the same host.
