The predictive hierarchical level of detail optimization algorithm of Mason and Blake is experimentally evaluated in the form of a practical application to hierarchical radiosity....

This paper presents market-based workflow management, a novel approach to workflow specification and execution which regards activities contained in a workflow as goods traded...

A lot of methods have been proposed -- and sometimes implemented -- for proof search in the propositional modal logics K, KT, and S4. It is difficult to compare the usefulness of ...

The performance of parallel query processing in a cluster of index servers is crucial for modern web search systems. In such a scenario, the response time basically depends on the...

We present a model, task automata, for real time systems with non-uniformly recurring computation tasks. It is an extended version of timed automata with asynchronous processes th...
In this paper, we will deal with some important kinds of metric temporal reasoning problems that arise in many real-life situations. In particular, events X0, X1 . . . XN are mode...
This paper discusses the techniques used to hand-parallelize, for the Alliant FX/80, four Fortran programs from the Perfect-Benchmark suite. The paper also includes the execution ...

Embedded systems are often used in a safety-critical context, e.g. in airborne or vehicle systems. Typically, timing constraints must be satisfied so that real-time embedded syste...
Abstract-- Hard real-time systems need methods to determine upper bounds for their execution times, usually called worst-case execution times. Timing anomalies are counterintuitive...

This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
