Load balancing is often used to ensure that nodes in a distributed systems are equally loaded. In this paper, we show that for real-time systems, load balancing is not desirable. ...
The Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm is known to be suboptimal for meeting all deadlines under global scheduling on multiprocessor platforms. However, EDF is an a...
Abstract—Recent results have shown that the feasibility problem of scheduling periodic tasks with self-suspensions is NPhard in the strong sense. We observe that a variation of t...
Large-scale wireless sensor networks represent a new generation of real-time embedded systems with significantly different communication constraints from traditional networked sys...
