It is well known that in a typical real-time system, certain parameters, such as the execution time of a job, are not fixed numbers. In such systems, it is common to characterize ...
We consider complex scheduling problems that can be captured as optimization under hard and soft constraints. The objective of such an optimization problem is to satisfy as many h...
In prior work on multiprocessor fairness, efficient techniques with provable properties for reallocating spare processing capacity have been elusive. In this paper, we address thi...
We present a discrete simulation model for software projects which explicitly takes a scheduling strategy as input. The model represents varying staff skill levels, component coup...
Many computation-intensive or recursive applications commonly found in digital signal processing and image processing applications can be represented by data-flow graphs (DFGs). ...
