(m,k)-firm constraints have been used to schedule tasks in soft/firm real-time systems under overloaded conditions. In general, they are provided by application designers to guara...
In this paper we analyze the traditional model of interrupt management and its inability to incorporate the reliability and temporal predictability demanded by real-time systems. ...
Real-time embedded systems are increasingly being networked. In distributed real-time embedded applications, e.g., electric grid management and command and control applications, i...
The modeling approach is not used to its full potential in maintenance of legacy systems. Often, models do not even exist. The main reasons being that the economic implications an...

From a real-time perspective, the Garbage Collector (GC) introduces unpredictable pauses that are not tolerated by real-time tasks. Real-time collectors eliminate this problem but...
In ubiquitous computing environments, contextawareness is one of the most important research topics. Computers embedded in our surrounding can extract information about a user, an...
Hardware/software codesign involves various design problems including system specification, design space exploration, hardware/software co-verification, and system synthesis. A co...

In this paper we consider data freshness and overload handling in embedded systems. The requirements on data management and overload handling are derived from an engine control so...
To build a “correct” implementation from a model of a concurrent real-time system, it is important to understand the relation between the properties of the model and of its co...
The load parameter of a sporadic task system is defined to be the largest possible cumulative execution requirement that can be generated by jobs of the task system over any time...
