Abstract. An important class of soft real-time applications require dynamic allocation of computational resources in order to comply with their quality of service (QoS) requirement...
It is commonly agreed that scheduling mechanisms in general purpose operating systems do not provide adequate support for modern interactive applications, notably multimedia appli...
The central idea behind interface-based design is to describe components by a component interface. In contrast to a component description that describes what a component does, a c...
Multimedia applications have dynamic and adaptive realtime requirements. Current scheduling practice, as typified by UNIX System V Release 4, lacks the necessary information and ...
Control systems running on a computer are subject to timing disturbances coming from implementation constraints. Fortunately closed-loop systems behave robustly w.r.t. modelling e...
