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

As multicore platforms become ever larger, overhead-related factors play a greater role in
determining which real-time scheduling algorithms are preferable. In this paper, such factors …

Mixed-criticality scheduling algorithms, which attempt to reclaim system capacity lost to worst-
case execution time pessimism, seem to hold great promise for multi core real-time systems …

Semi-partitioned schedulers are--in theory--a particularly promising category of
multiprocessor real-time scheduling algorithms. Unfortunately, issues pertaining to their …

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 …

Scheduling latency under Linux and its principal real-time variant, the PREEMPT RT patch,
are typically measured using cyclictest, a tracing tool that treats the kernel as a black box …

This paper presents the first real-time multiprocessor locking protocol that supports fine-
grained nested resource requests. This locking protocol relies on a novel technique for …

OpenVX is a recently ratified standard that was expressly proposed to facilitate the design of
computer-vision (CV) applications used in real-time embedded systems. Despite its real …

Mixed-criticality systems (MCS) combine real-time components of different levels of criticality-
ie severity of failure-on the same processor, in order to obtain good resource utilisation …

Across a range of safety-critical domains, an evolution is underway to endow embedded
systems with" thinking" capabilities by using artificial-intelligence (AI) techniques. This …
