Increased competition and reduced profit margins are pushing manufacturing plants to find
ways to improve operational efficiency and reduce costs. At the same time, government …

Fierce global competition and reduced profit margins are forcing many manufacturing plants
to maximize their operational efficiency. This includes the consumption of energy across the …

Electric demand-side management (DSM) focuses on changing the electricity consumption
patterns of end-use customers through improving energy efficiency and the optimal …

Fixed priority scheduling (FPS) has been widely studied and used in a number of
applications, mostly due to its flexibility, simple run-time mechanism and small overhead …

Safety critical embedded real-time systems represent a class of systems that has attracted
relatively little attention in research addressing component based software engineering …

In this paper, a hard real-time execution environment extension is proposed for an open
source real-time operating system, FreeRTOS, in order to support a special case of hard real …

This paper presents a heuristic resource allocation and scheduling method, which is based
on an integrated architecture that enables multiple missions to be embedded in a single …

Real-time systems typically have to satisfy complex requirements, mapped to the task
attributes, eventually guaranteed by the underlying scheduler. These systems consist of a …

We present an approach to the analysis and optimisation of heterogeneous multiprocessor
embedded systems. The systems are heterogeneous not only in terms of hardware …

The analysis and design of real-time control systems is a complex task, requiring the
integration and good understanding of both control and real-time systems theory …
