The Pfair algorithms are optimal for independent periodic real-time tasks executing on a multiple-resource system, however, they incur a high scheduling overhead by making schedul...
Preventing denial-of-service attacks in wireless sensor networks is difficult primarily because of the limited resources available to network nodes and the ease with which attacks...
Data caches are essential in modern processors, bridging the widening gap between main memory and processor speeds. However, they yield very complex performance models, which make...
We address the problem of providing compositional hard real-time guarantees in a hierarchy of schedulers. We first propose a resource model to characterize a periodic resource al...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling realtime dwells in multi-function phase array radar systems. To keep track of targets, a radar system must meet its timing and energ...
Power management in data centers has become an increasingly important concern. Large server installations are designed to handle peak load, which may be significantly larger than...

Any data exchanged between the processor and main memory uses the memory bus, sharing it with data exchanged between I/O devices and main memory. If the processor and a device try...
Scheduling disk requests with service guarantees has to bring the demand to meet guarantees in line with the need to optimize disk utilization. This paper presents the design, imp...
