Now that multicore microprocessors have become a commodity, it is natural to think about employing them in all kinds of computing, including high-reliability embedded real-time sy...
Efficient scheduling of jobs on parallel processors is essential for good performance. However, design of such schedulers is challenging because of the complex interaction between...
We consider Discrete Event Systems (DES) involving tasks with real-time constraints and seek to control processing times so as to minimize a cost function subject to each task mee...
This paper investigates the challenges of run-time resource management in future coarse-grained network-onreconfigurable-chips (NoRCs). Run-time reconfiguration is a key feature e...
: The accumulation of popular features in portable products such as mobile handsets is driving battery life to unacceptably low levels. Substantial change will not come from increm...
