The question whether preemptive systems are better than non-preemptive systems has been debated for a long time, but only partial answers have been provided in the real-time liter...
—Sensor processing is a common task within many embedded system domains, such as in control systems, the sensor feedback is used for actuator control. In this paper we have surve...
Abstract—Although energy-efficient real-time task scheduling has attracted a lot of attention in the past decade, most existing results assumed deterministic execution lengths f...
The importance of accounting for interrupts in multiprocessor real-time schedulability analsysis is discussed. Three interrupt accounting methods, two of which are newly described...
Soft real-time sporadic multiprocessor task systems are considered that include processing pipelines. Conditions are presented for guaranteeing bounded deadline tardiness in such ...
Responsive Link, an ISO/IEC communication standard, provides many functional capabilities for distributed realtime systems. This paper is focused on periodic and aperiodic communi...
—One step in the verification of hard real-time systems is to determine upper bounds on the worst-case execution times (WCET) of tasks. To obtain tight bounds, a WCET analysis h...
