Scratchpads have been widely proposed as an alternative to caches for embedded systems. Advantages of scratchpads include reduced energy consumption in comparison to a cache and a...
We present a task model for adaptive real-time tasks in which a task's execution rate requirements are allowed to change at any time. The model, variable rate execution (VRE)...
Embedded control systems with hard real-time constraints require that deadlines are met at all times or the system may malfunction with potentially catastrophic consequences. Sched...
Existing off-line schedulability analysis for real-time systems can only handle periodic or sporadic tasks with known minimum inter-arrival times. Modeling sporadic tasks with fi...

This paper deals with the problem of scheduling aperiodic groups of tasks in distributed systems. It proposes two contributions, namely: i) a distributed scheduling algorithm to b...
