This survey covers research into mixed criticality systems that has been published since
Vestal's seminal paper in 2007, up until the end of 2016. The survey is organised along the …

This review covers research on the topic of mixed criticality systems that has been published
since Vestal's 2007 paper. It covers the period up to and including July 2015. The review is …

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 …

An investigation is conducted of two protocols belonging to the priority inheritance protocols
class; the two are called the basic priority inheritance protocol and the priority ceiling …

This paper presents an exact characterization of the ability of the rate monotonic scheduling
algorithm to meet the deadlines of a periodic task set. In addition, a stochastic analysis is …

This paper is based on a conjecture that the more confidence one needs in a task execution
time bound (the less tolerant one is of missed deadlines), the larger and more conservative …

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 …

Abstract The Priority Ceiling Protocol (PCP) of Sha, Rajkumar and Lehoczky is a policy for
locking binary semaphores that bounds priority inversion (ie, the blocking of a job while a …

A real-time system consists of both aperiodic and periodic tasks. Periodic tasks have regular
arrival times and hard deadlines. Aperiodic tasks have irregular arrival times and either soft …
