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 …

This paper deals with the real-time implementation of feedback controllers. In particular, it
provides an analysis of the stability property of closed-loop systems that include a controller …

HNS (harmonic plus noise synthesis), an analysis/modification/synthesis model based on a
harmonic plus noise representation of the speech signal, is presented. Significant …

The negative impact of the popular energy management technique Dynamic Voltage and
Frequency Scaling (DVFS) on the reliability of real-time embedded systems, in terms of …

The Internet of Things (IoT) is captivating the society because of its potential to rapidly
transform businesses and people's lives. It is widely believed that IoT will also transform the …

This paper derives an equation for a networked control system's performance as a function
of the network's dropout process. The dropout process is governed by a Markov chain. The …

In this paper, we explore performance optimization problems for real-time systems that have
to rely on a fixed energy budget during an operation/mission. We adopt the weakly-hard …

The set of frames exchanged in automotive applications must meet two constraints: it has to
be feasible from a schedulability point of view and it should minimize the network bandwidth …

A weakly hard real-time system is a system that can tolerate some degree of missed
deadlines provided that this number is bounded and guaranteed off-line. In this paper we …
