— Ubiquitous image processing tasks (such as transform decompositions, filtering and motion estimation) do not currently provide graceful degradation when their clock-cycles budg...
—In distributed real-time embedded systems (DRE), it is common to model an application as a set of task chains. Each chain is activated cyclically and must complete before an end...
A heterogeneous multi-processor (HeMP) system consists of several heterogeneous processors, each of which is specially designed to deliver the best energy-saving performance for a...
In this paper, we consider the problem of supporting fault tolerance for adaptive and time-critical applications in heterogeneous and unreliable grid computing environments. Our g...
This paper reports on a novel decentralised technique for planning agent schedules in dynamic task allocation problems. Specifically, we use a Markov game formulation of these pr...
