In scheduling a large number of user jobs for parallel execution on an open-resource grid
system, the jobs are subject to system failures or delays caused by infected hardware …

Dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) is a well-known energy consumption
optimization technique in embedded systems and dynamically scaling down the voltage of a …

Fault-tolerance is an essential requirement for real-time systems, due to potentially
catastrophic consequences of faults. In this paper, we investigate an efficient off-line …

Security-critical real-time applications such as military aircraft flight control systems have
mandatory security requirements in addition to stringent timing constraints. Conventional …

In this paper, a heuristic dynamic scheduling scheme for parallel real-time jobs executing on
a heterogeneous cluster is presented. In our system model, parallel real-time jobs, which are …

Fault-tolerant scheduling is an imperative step for large-scale computational grid systems,
as often geographically distributed nodes co-operate to execute a task. By and large …

Reliability is widely identified as an increasingly relevant issue in heterogeneous service-
oriented systems because processor failure affects the quality of service to users …

Distributed computing workflow is an effective paradigm to express a range of applications
with cloud computing platforms for scientific research explorations. One of the most difficult …

While many scheduling algorithms for periodic tasks ignore security requirements posed by
sensitive applications and are, consequently, unable to perform properly in embedded …

Reliability requirement is one of the most important quality of services (QoS) and should be
satisfied for a reliable workflow in cloud computing. Primary-backup replication is an …
