In this paper, we investigate the worst case performance of Earliest Due Date algorithm when applied to packet scheduling in distributed systems. We assume that the processing ele...
Real-time embedded systems are increasingly being networked. In distributed real-time embedded applications, e.g., electric grid management and command and control applications, i...
We build on PTIDES, a programming model for distributed embedded systems that uses discrete-event (DE) models as program specifications. PTIDES improves on distributed DE executi...
Replication is a well-know fault-tolerance technique, and several replication strategies exist (e.g. active, passive, and semi-active replication). To be used in hard real-time sy...
Data flow and FSMs are used intensively to specify real-time systems in the field of mechatronics. Their implementation in FPGAs is discussed against the background of dynamic rec...
