Effective scheduling is a key concern for the execution of performance driven Grid applications. In this paper, we propose a Dynamic Critical Path (DCP) based workflow scheduling ...
Real-time systems are often designed using preemptive scheduling and worst-case execution time estimates to guarantee the execution of high priority tasks. There is, however, an i...
In portable applications, the energy consumed by OS and application tasks primarily comes from DC battery source, which is limited and imposes an upper bound to the amount of time...
Network control and management techniques (e.g., dynamic path switching, on-demand bandwidth provisioning) rely on active measurements of end-to-end network status. These measureme...
DiffServ networks support three forwarding classes: EF, AF and BE. Scheduling algorithms based on priority queueing such as Cisco LLQ and MDRR seem to be a natural choice to provi...
