The need for supportingvarietyof hard and soft real-time, as well as best effort applications ina multimedia computing environment requires an operating system framework that: (1)...
Searches that include both feasible and infeasible solutions have proved to be efficient algorithms for solving some scheduling problems. Researchers conjecture that these algorit...
This paper introduces an exact schedulability analysis for the optional computation model urider a specified failure hypothesis. From this analysis, we propose a solutionfor deter...
In this paper we study the unrelated parallel machines problem where n independent jobs must be assigned to one out of m parallel machines and the processing time of each job diļ¬...
One way to implement a fault-tolerant a service is by replicating it at sites that fail independently. One of the replication techniques is active replication where each request i...
