The main focus of this paper is the problem of ensuring timeliness in safety critical systems. First, we introduce a method and its associated technique to model both real-time ta...
Voltage-frequency scaling (VFS) trades a linear processor slowdown for a potentially quadratic reduction in energy consumption. Complex dependencies may exist between different tas...
Stochastic analysis techniques for real-time systems model the execution time of tasks as random variables. These techniques constitute a very powerful tool to study the behaviour...
Unique challenges are present when one tries to build distributed real-time applications using standard o -the-shelf systems which are in common use but are not necessarily design...
This paper focuses on the problem of providing efficient run-time support to multimedia applications in a real-time system, where two types of tasks can coexist simultaneously: mu...
