It is well known that the performance of computer controlled systems is heavily affected by delays and jitter occurring in the control loops, which are mainly caused by the interf...
We present a multiprocessor scheduling framework for integrating hard and soft real-time tasks and best-effort jobs. This framework allows for full system utilization, and ensures...
Feedback control techniques have recently been applied to a variety of real-time systems. However, a fundamental issue that was left out is guaranteeing system controllability and...
A critical resource in a distributed real-time system is its shared communication medium. Unrestrained concurrent access to the network can lead to collisions that reduce the syst...
Conventionally, the use of virtual memory in real-time systems has been avoided, the main reason being the difficulties it provides to timing analysis. However, there is a trend ...
Since wireless ad-hoc networks use shared communication medium, accesses to the medium must be coordinated to avoid packet collisions. Transmission scheduling algorithms allocate ...
Dynamic memory storage has been widely used for years in computer science. However, its use in real-time systems has not been considered as an important issue, and memory manageme...
