We introduce resource augmentation as a method for analyzing online scheduling
problems. In resource augmentation analysis the on-line scheduler is given more resources …

In this paper, we consider two fundamental multiprocessor scheduling problems: q on-line
multiprocessor scheduling of sequential jobs in a hard-real-time environment, in which all …

The functional consolidation induced by the cost reduction trends in embedded systems can
force tasks of different criticality (eg ABS Brakes with DVD) to share a processor and …

Large-scale distributed cyber-physical systems will have many sensors/actuators (each with
local micro-controllers), and a distributed communication/computing backbone with multiple …

Contemporary GPUs are widely used for throughput-oriented data-parallel workloads and
increasingly are being considered for latency-sensitive applications in datacenters …

Real-time systems are often designed using preemptive scheduling and worst-case
execution time estimates to guarantee the execution of high priority tasks. There is, however …

The policy used to implement a control algorithm in a real-time system can significantly affect
the quality of control. In this paper, we present a method to adapt the controller …

Many real-time systems have firm real-time requirements which allow occasional deadline
violations but discard any jobs that are not finished by their deadlines. To measure the …

The report gives a state-of-the-art survey of the field of integrated control and scheduling.
Subtopics discussed are implementation and scheduling of periodic control loops …

The primary 1 performance objective in distributed real-time database systems (DRTDBS) is
to minimize the number of transactions missing their deadlines. Demanding nature of this …
