Abstract. Clustering data described by categorical attributes is a challenging task in data mining applications. Unlike numerical attributes, it is difficult to define a distance b...
Many complex real-time applications involve combined scheduling of hard and soft real-time tasks. In this paper, we propose a combined scheduling algorithm, called Emergency Algori...
