Nominally, one can expect any user of modern technology to carry a handheld device such an iPAQ or cellphone and utilize resources in the environment to remain connected and enjoy...
Real-time media servers are becoming increasingly important as the Internet supports more and more multimedia applications. In order to meet these ever increasing demands, real-ti...
This paper presents a novel approach for calculating a probabilistic worst-case response-time for messages in the Controller Area Network (CAN). CAN uses a bit-stuffing mechanism...
Message Sequence Charts (MSCs) are widely used for describing interaction scenarios between the components of a distributed system. Consequently, worst-case response time estimati...
Embedded systems are often subject to constraints that require determinism to ensure that task deadlines are met. Such systems are referred to as real-time systems. Schedulability...
