In real world, applications with different deadline criteria exist. Based on the nature of the
deadline, the applications are categorised as mission-critical, firm and soft. In this paper, a …

Wireless technology has become very widely used; and an array of security measures, such
as authentication, confidentiality strategies, and 802.11 wireless communication protocol …

Because of the privacy-preserving, data hiding is a new technique that had drawn attention.
Access control and transaction tracking, data hiding techniques can be used to insert a …

To meet increasing and widely varying demands from different types of applications, modern
embedded systems combine different types of compute resources, such as general purpose …

The rapid technological advances and the inherent need of most of today's applications for
high quality results within strict timing constraints, have made the use of distributed real-time …

Abstract Quality of Service (QoS) provisioning for divisible loads in clusters, enabled using
real-time scheduling theory, is based on an important assumption: the scheduler knows the …

Grid computing integrates scattered clusters, servers, storages and networks in different
geographic locations to form a virtual super-computer. Along with the development of grid …

Providing QoS and performance guarantees to arbitrarily divisible loads has become a
significant problem for many cluster-based research computing facilities. While progress is …
