While it is widely believed that preemptability is a necessary requirement for developing real-time software, there are additional costs involved with preemptive scheduling, as co...
An advanced communication system, the FlexRay system, has been developed for future automotive applications. It consists of time-triggered clusters, such as drive-by-wire in cars,...
Real-time scheduling algorithms for multiprocessor systems have been the subject of considerable recent interest. For such an algorithm to be truly useful in practice, support for...
Existing software scheduling techniques limit the functions that can be implemented in software to those with a restricted class of timing constraints, in particular those with a c...
In this paper we present a new technique which exploits timing-correlation between tasks for scheduling analysis in multiprocessor and distributed systems with tree-shaped task-de...
