Cyber-physical systems (CPSs) are the next generation of engineered systems in which
computing, communication, and control technologies are tightly integrated. Research on …

Real-time computing plays a crucial role in our society since an increasing number of
complex systems rely, in part or completely, on computer control. Examples of applications …

Consideration is given to the problem of fixed priority scheduling of period tasks with
arbitrary deadlines. A general criterion for the schedulability of such a task set is given …

In this 25th year anniversary paper for the IEEE Real Time Systems Symposium, we review
the key results in real-time scheduling theory and the historical events that led to the …

With the widespread adoption of multicore architectures, multiprocessors are now a
standard deployment platform for (soft) real-time applications. This dissertation addresses …

Cloud computing and virtualization technology have revolutionized general-purpose
computing applications in the past decade. The cloud paradigm offers advantages through …

As system integration becomes an increasingly important challenge for complex real-time
systems, there has been a significant demand for supporting real-time systems in virtualized …

Since the first results published in 1973 by Liu and Layland on the Rate Monotonic (RM) and
Earliest Deadline First (EDF) algorithms, a lot of progress has been made in the …

The rise of big data age in the Internet has led to the explosive growth of data size. However,
trust issue has become the biggest problem of big data, leading to the difficulty in data safe …

The well known periodic task model of CL Liu and JW Layland (1973) assumes a worst case
execution time bound for every task and may be too pessimistic if the worst case execution …
