Reward-based scheduling refers to the problem in which there is a reward associated with the execution of a task. In our framework, each real-time task comprises a mandatory and a...
Residual defects is one of the most important factors that allow one to decide if a piece of software is ready to be released. In theory, one can find all the defects and count th...
In this paper, we derive a statistical delay guarantee of the generalized Virtual Clock scheduling algorithm. We define the concept of an equivalent fluid and packet source and pr...
Traffic burstiness has a significant impact on network performance. Burstiness can cause buffer overflows and packet drops and is particularly problematic in the context of small-b...
New heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms are emerging that are typically composed of loosely coupled components that exchange data using programmable interconnections. The compon...
