With the Internet designed to provide best-effort packet transmission, applications are expected to adapt dynamically to the operating conditions observed in the network. For this ...
In this paper, we propose a methodology for developing component-based real-time systems based on the concept of hierarchical scheduling. Recently, much work has been devoted to t...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
In multi-hop networks, packet schedulers at downstream nodes have an opportunity to make up for excessive latencies due to congestion at upstream nodes. Similarly, when packets in...
Planning and scheduling attracts an unceasing attention of computer science community. However, despite of similar character of both tasks, in most current systems planning and sch...
