The management of tasks is an essential requirement in most real-time and embedded systems, but invariably leads to unwanted CPU overheads. This paper is concerned with task manage...
In distributed real-time systems, meeting the real-time constraints is mandatory but the satisfaction of other application-dependent criteria is most generally required as well. I...
The Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm is known to be suboptimal for meeting all deadlines under global scheduling on multiprocessor platforms. However, EDF is an a...
Many of today's complex computer applications are being modeled and constructed using the principles inherent to real-time distributed object systems. In response to this dem...
Since the first results published in 1973 by Liu and Layland on the Rate Monotonic (RM) and Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithms, a lot of progress has been made in the schedu...
