Differentiated Services (DiffServ) is a promising architecture for the next generation Internet due to its scalable and flexible design. In DiffServ, scheduling disciplines play an...
Scheduling of sporadic task systems on multiprocessor platforms is an area which has received much attention in the recent past. It is widely believed that finding an optimal sch...
Scheduling decisions in time-critical systems are very difficult, due to the vast number of systems' parameters and tasks' attributes involved in such decisions. Due to ...
Many of today's complex computer applications are being modeled and constructed using the principles inherent to real-time distributed object systems. In response to this dem...
We consider the issue of deadline tardiness under global multiprocessor scheduling algorithms. We present a general tardiness-bound derivation that is applicable to a wide variety...
