Instruction scratchpads have been previously suggested as a way to reduce the worst case execution time (WCET) of hard real-time programs without introducing the analysis issues p...
· Modelling the fundamental performance limits of Wireless Sensor Networks (WSNs) is of paramount importance to understand the behaviour of WSN under worst-case conditions and to...
We present an assume-guarantee interface algebra for real-time components. In our formalism a component implements a set of task sequences that share a resource. A component inter...
Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
Due to the lack of QoS support, ensuring an acceptable application level QoS for the real-time delivery of multiobject multimedia presentations on the current Internet is very cha...
