Disk schedulers in current operating systems are generally work-conserving, i.e., they schedule a request as soon as the previous request has finished. Such schedulers often requ...
—This article studies the scheduling of critical embedded systems, which consist of a set of communicating periodic tasks with constrained deadlines. Currently, tasks are usually...
We give a graph decomposition technique that creates entirely independent subproblems for graph problems such as coloring and dominating sets that can be solved without synchroniz...
Consider a synchronized distributed system where each node can only observe the state of its neighbors. Such a system is called selfstabilizing if it reaches a stable global state ...
