We describe a new, non-FCFS policy to schedule parallel jobs on systems that may be part of a computational grid. Our algorithm continuously monitors the system (i.e., the intensi...
Recent research in compositional real-time systems has focused on determination of a component’s real-time interface parameters. An important objective in interface-parameter de...
This paper analyzes various algorithms for scheduling low priority disk drive tasks. The derived closed form solution is applicable to class of greedy algorithms that include a va...
The question whether preemptive systems are better than non-preemptive systems has been debated for a long time, but only partial answers have been provided in the real-time liter...
We propose a wireless medium access control (MAC) protocol that provides static-priority scheduling of messages in a guaranteed collision-free manner. Our protocol supports multip...
