We consider the scheduling of a sporadic real-time task system on an identical multiprocessor. Though Pfair algorithms are theoretically optimal for such task systems, in practice...
Network of workstation (NOW) is a cost-effective alternative to massively parallel supercomputers. As commercially available off-theshelf processors become cheaper and faster, it...
Responsive Link, an ISO/IEC communication standard, provides many functional capabilities for distributed realtime systems. This paper is focused on periodic and aperiodic communi...
Many wireless sensor nodes (motes) interface with slow peripheral devices, requiring the processor to wait. These delays waste time, energy and power, which are valuable but limit...
This article introduces the Time Model subprofile of MARTE, a new OMG UML Profile dedicated to Modeling and Analysis of Real-Time and Embedded systems. After a brief presentatio...
