Abstract—Recent results have shown that the feasibility problem of scheduling periodic tasks with self-suspensions is NPhard in the strong sense. We observe that a variation of t...
—Hardware-managed caches introduce large amounts of timing variability, complicating real-time system design. One alternative is a memory system with scratchpad memories which im...
We consider a class of component-based software models with interaction style of buffered asynchronous message passing between components with ports, represented by UML-RT. After ...
When a middleware layer is designed for providing semi-transparent distribution facilities to real-time applications, a trade-off must be made between the expressiveness and contro...
Dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) circuits have been widely adopted in many computing systems to provide tradeoff between performance and power consumption. The effective use of energ...
