Real-time applications often have mixed hard and soft deadlines, can be preempted subject to the cost of context switching or the restart of computation, and have various data dep...
We address in this paper the problem of scheduling for multiprocessor real-time systems with hard and soft tasks. Utility functions are associated to soft tasks to capture their r...
Performing QoS (Quality of Service) control in large computing systems requires an on line metric that is representative of the real state of the system. The Tardiness Quantile Me...

Connection Admission Control (CAC) is needed in ATM networks to provide Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees to real-time connections. This paper presents a CAC scheme based on a b...
Energy reduction is critical to increase the mobility and to extend the mission period in the development of today’s pervasive computing systems. On the other hand, however, ene...
