It is commonly agreed that scheduling mechanisms in general purpose operating systems do not provide adequate support for modern interactive applications, notably multimedia appli...
Energy conservation is an important issue in the design of embedded systems. Dynamic Voltage Scaling (DVS) and Dynamic Power Management (DPM) are two widely used techniques for sav...
Systems that use or serve multimedia data require timely access to data on hard drives. To ensure adequate performance users must either prevent overload of disk resources, or use...
This paper describes new algorithms for systemlevel software synthesis, namely the scheduling and allocation of a set of complex tasks running at multiple rates on a heterogeneous...
In this paper we present a software tool for the simulation of distributed real-time embedded systems. Our tool is based on the popular NS-2 package for simulating the networking ...
