We study the effect of laxity, or slack time, on the online scheduling of broadcasts with deadlines. The laxity of a request is defined to be the ratio between its span (differe...

Parallel computing on volatile distributed resources requires schedulers that consider job and resource characteristics. We study unconventional computing environments containing ...

We address the question of providing throughput guarantees through distributed scheduling, which has remained an open problem for some time. We consider a simple distributed sched...
In preemptive real-time systems, scheduling analyses need—in addition to the worst-case execution time—the context-switch cost. In case of preemption, the preempted and the pr...
An optimal prefetching and I/O scheduling algorithm L-OPT, for parallel I/O systems, using a read-once model of block references is presented. The algorithm uses knowledge of the n...
