We address distributed real-time applications represented by systems of non-preemptive dependent periodic tasks. This system is described by an acyclic directed graph. Because the...
Background: Circadian rhythm is a crucial factor in orchestration of plant physiology, keeping it in synchrony with the daylight cycle. Previous studies have reported that up to 1...
The Earliest Deadline First (EDF) scheduling algorithm is known to be suboptimal for meeting all deadlines under global scheduling on multiprocessor platforms. However, EDF is an a...
This paper investigates retiming and clock skew scheduling for improving the tolerance of synchronous circuits to delay variations. It is shown that when both long and short paths...
Monitoring network status such as end-to-end delay, jitter, and available bandwidth is important to support QoS-sensitive applications and timely detection of network anomalies li...
