When a middleware layer is designed for providing semi-transparent distribution facilities to real-time applications, a trade-off must be made between the expressiveness and contro...
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...
Algorithms based on semi-partitioned scheduling have been proposed as a viable alternative between the two extreme ones based on global and partitioned scheduling. In particular, ...
An embedded system the system continuously interacts with its environment under strict timing constraints, called the external constraints, and it is important to know how these e...
We introduce a novel delay pricing and charging scheme in deadline-based networks to support real-time data delivery. We study the delay performance observed by individual users wh...
