We study Reader-Writer Exclusion [1], a well-known variant of the Mutual Exclusion problem [2] where processes are divided into two classes–readers and writers–and multiple re...
Abstract-- Field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs) can provide performance advantages with a lower resource consumption (e.g., energy) than conventional CPUs. In this paper, we show...
The characteristics of mobile environments, with the possibility of frequent disconnections and fluctuating bandwidth, have forced a rethink of traditional middleware. In particu...
We introduce a dynamic battery model that describes the variations of the capacity of a battery under time varying discharge current. This model supports a co-design approach for ...
Functionality for various services of scheduling algorithms is typically provided as extensions to a basic algorithm. Aperiodic task handling, guarantees, etc., are integrated wit...
