In the last years, a progressive migration from single processor chips to multi-core computing devices has taken place in the general-purpose and embedded system market. The devel...
In the past decade, energy-efficiency has been an important system design issue in both hardware and software managements. For mobile applications with critical missions, both ene...
In recent times, much attention has been devoted to power optimization for real-time systems, while guaranteeing that such systems meet their hard (or soft) scheduling deadlines. ...
In this article, the problem of finding a tight estimate on the worst-case execution time (WCET) of a real-time program is addressed. The analysis is focused on straight-line code...
Real-time systems need to be time-predictable in order to prove the timeliness of all their time-critical responses. While this is a well-known fact, recent efforts of the communit...
