Real-time computing plays a crucial role in our society since an increasing number of
complex systems rely, in part or completely, on computer control. Examples of applications …

Problems in the motion control of aircraft are of perennial interest to the control engineer as
they tend to be of complex and nonlinear nature. Modelling and Control of Mini-Flying …

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

We present a discrete-time prediction-based state-feedback controller. It is shown that this
controller stabilizes possibly unstable continuous-time delay systems. The stability is shown …

Motivated by medical needs, we propose to simulate lung deformation and motion during
respiration to track tumours. This paper presents a model of lung behaviour based on a …

Management, allocation and scheduling of heterogeneous resources for complex distributed
real-time applications is a challenging problem. Timing constraints of applications may be …

Partitioning is a widespread technique that enables the execution of mixed-criticality
applications in the same hardware platform. New challenges for the next generation of …

Ad-hoc networks usually support best-effort traffic and occasionally some kind of quality of
service (QoS). However, there are some applications, which generally involve cooperative …

Abstract The Data Distribution Service (DDS) standard defines a data-centric distribution
middleware that supports the development of distributed real-time systems. To this end, the …

Earliest Deadline First (EDF) is the most widely studied optimal dynamic scheduling
algorithm for uniprocessor real-time systems. For realistic programs, tasks must be allowed …
