Abstract—Recent results have shown that the feasibility problem of scheduling periodic tasks with self-suspensions is NPhard in the strong sense. We observe that a variation of t...
Multiprocessor platforms have been widely adopted in both embedded and server systems. In addition to the performance improvement, multiprocessor systems could have the flexibili...
A hybrid scheduling algorithm is proposed, which integrates features of the Fixed Priority (FP) and Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling policies. It is shown that this hybrid...
Low-level support of peripheral devices is one of the most demanding activities in a real-time operating system. In fact, the rapid development of new interface boards causes a tr...

In this paper we analyze the traditional model of interrupt management and its inability to incorporate the reliability and temporal predictability demanded by real-time systems. ...
