: So far, the Ambient Intelligence (AmI) paradigm has been applied to the development of a great variety of real systems. They use advanced technologies such as ubiquitous computin...
—It is widely assumed that scheduling real-time tasks becomes more difficult as their deadlines get shorter. With deadlines shorter, however, tasks potentially compete less with...
Task scheduling is an integrated component of computing. With the emergence of grid and ubiquitous computing, newer challenges have arisen in task scheduling. Unlike traditional p...
—Preemptive scheduling often generates a significant runtime overhead that may increase task worst-case execution times up to 40%, with respect to a fully non preemptive executi...
—We consider the problem of neighbor discovery in wireless networks with nodes operating in multiple frequency bands and with asymmetric beacon intervals. This is a challenging t...
