Critical Infrastructures (CIs) such as the Power Grid play an important role in our lives. Of all important aspects of CIs, real-time data delivery is the most important one becaus...
Very thorough online self-test is essential for overcoming major reliability challenges such as early-life failures and transistor aging in advanced technologies. This paper demon...
Multicore architectures, which have multiple processing units on a single chip, have been adopted by most chip manufacturers. Most such chips contain on-chip caches that are share...
In this paper we present a concurrency control algorithm that allows co-existence of soft real-time, relational database transactions, and hard real-time database pointer transact...
In this paper we investigate the utilization of nondedicated, opportunistic resources in a desktop environment to provide statistical assurances to a class of QoS sensitive, soft ...
In this paper we study the soft real-time web cluster architecture needed to support e-commerce and related applications. Our testbed is based on an industry standard, which defin...

We present a soft real-time CPU server for Continuous Media processing in the UNIX environment. The server is a daemon process from which applications can request and acquire soft...
Networked embedded systems are expected to support adaptive streaming audio/video applications with soft real-time constraints. These systems can be designed in a cost efficient ...
Parallel computing is becoming increasing central and mainstream, driven both by the widespread availability of commodity SMP and high-performance cluster platforms, as well as th...
