Mobile services offering multi-feature query capabilities must meet tough response time requirements to gain customer acceptance. The top-k query model is a popular candidate to im...
In this paper, we investigate the benefits of a flexible, application-specific instruction set by adding a run-time Reconfigurable Functional Unit (RFU) to a VLIW processor. Preli...
Many VR platforms emphasize extensibility to support as wide a range of applications as possible. The current trend is to move this extensibility to lower levels of the system to ...
The DAG-based task graph model has been found effective in scheduling for performance prediction and optimization of parallel applications. However the scheduling complexity and s...
In this paper we present four new on-line algorithms for servicing soft aperiodic requests in real-time systems, where a set of hard periodic lash is scheduled using the Earliest ...
