Scratchpad memory is a popular choice for on-chip storage in real-time embedded systems. The allocation of code/data to scratchpad memory is performed at compile time leading to p...
Periodic update transaction model has been used to maintain freshness (or temporal validity) of real-time data. Period and deadline assignment has been the main focus in the past ...
Resource reservation has been recently supported by many real-time operating systems to provide applications with guaranteed and timely access to system resources. Typically, rese...
Energy reduction is critical to increase the mobility and to extend the mission period in the development of today’s pervasive computing systems. On the other hand, however, ene...
Static timing analysis safely bounds worst-case execution times to determine if tasks can meet their deadlines in hard real-time systems. However, conventional timing analysis req...

Modern operating systems frequently support applications with a variety of timing constraints including hard real-time, soft real-time, and best-effort. To guarantee performance, ...
A novel gradient-ascending stateless routing protocol, called GRASP (GRadient Ascending Stateless Protocol), is proposed for stationary wireless sensor networks. GRASP is built wi...
