With the Internet designed to provide best-effort packet transmission, applications are expected to adapt dynamically to the operating conditions observed in the network. For this ...
The explosive growth in the use of mobile devices coupled with users’ desires for real-time applications has provided new challenges in the design of protocols for mobile ad hoc...
Database systems for real-time applications must satisfy timing constraints associated with transactions. Typically, a timing constraint is expressed in the form of a deadline and ...
Many real-time application domains can benefit from flexible and open distributed architectures, such as those defined by the CORBA specification. CORBA is an architecture for...

Abstract-- While traffic volume of real-time applications is rapidly increasing, current routers do not guarantee minimum QoS values of fairness and they drop packets in random fas...
The IEEE802.11e defines a MAC protocol, which provides EDCA (enhanced distributed channel access) and HCCA (HCF controlled channel access) to support differentiation service over W...
Real-time applications such as multimedia audio and video are increasingly populating the workstation desktop. To support the execution of these applications in conjunction with t...
To animate a character, a number of poses are displayed in quick succession in order to create the illusion of motion. For most real-time applications, such as games, the pose upd...
