This paper introduces the OROCOS project that aims at becoming a general-purpose and
open robot control software package. OROCOS follows the open source development model …

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

We present a real-time, Linux-based testbed called LITMUS, which we have developed for
empirically evaluating multiprocessor real-time scheduling algorithms. We also present the …

Dynamic storage allocation (DSA) algorithms play an important role in the modern software
engineering paradigms and techniques (such as object oriented programming). Using DSA …

Real-time systems are growing in complexity and real-time and soft real-time applications
are becoming common in general-purpose computing environments. Thus, there is a …

Multicore platforms are predicted to become significantly larger in the coming years. Given
that real-time workloads will inevitably be deployed on such platforms, the scalability of the …

In the domain of multiprocessor real-time systems, there has been a wealth of recent work
on scheduling, but relatively little work on the equally-important topic of synchronization …

Operating systems offering virtual memory and protected address spaces have been an
elusive target of static worst-case execution time (WCET) analysis. This is due to a …

Ongoing research is discussed on the development of operating-system support for
enabling mixed-criticality workloads to be supported on multicore platforms. This work is …

Modern operating systems frequently support applications with a variety of timing constraints
including hard real-time, soft real-time, and best-effort. To guarantee performance, critical …
