This work deals with scheduling and checkpointing strategies to execute scientific workflows
on failure-prone large-scale platforms. To the best of our knowledge, this work is the first to …

Cloud computing environments facilitate applications by providing virtualised resources
through the network and serve the clients by the pay‐as‐you‐go mechanism. It is based on …

In this paper, a Q-learning-based task scheduling approach for mixed-critical application on
heterogeneous multi-cores (QSMix) to optimize their main design challenges is proposed …

Abstract Architecture design is one of the most important steps in software development,
since design decisions affect the quality of the final system (eg reliability and performance) …

The architecture of modern automotive electronic systems is composed of multiple
distributed mixed-criticality functions. The effective utilization of such systems with …

Implementing embedded software systems involves many important design decisions, such
as finding (near) optimal component deployment architectures, that have a strong influence …

Component deployment is a combinatorial optimisation problem in software engineering
that aims at finding the best allocation of software components to hardware resources in …

We consider pipelined real-time systems that consist of a chain of tasks executing on a
distributed platform. The processing of the tasks is pipelined: each processor executes only …

Design of embedded systems involves a number of architecture decisions which have a
significant impact on its quality. Due to the complexity of today's systems and the large …

Software-to-hardware allocation plays an important role in the development of resource-
constrained automotive embedded systems that are required to meet timing, reliability and …
