(m,k)-firm constraints have been used to schedule tasks in soft/firm real-time systems under overloaded conditions. In general, they are provided by application designers to guara...
Using preemption threshold scheduling (PTS) in a multi-threaded real-time embedded system reduces system preemptions and hence reduces run-time overhead while still ensuring real-...
Time redundancy (rollback-recovery) and hardware redundancy are commonly used in real-time systems to achieve fault tolerance. From an energy consumption point of view, time redun...
The evolution of battery technology is not being able to keep up with the increasing performance demand of mobile embedded systems. Therefore, battery life has become an important...
