" This book is a comprehensive text for the design of safety critical, hard real-time embedded
systems. It offers a splendid example for the balanced, integrated treatment of systems and …

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

This paper summarizes the state of the real-time field in the areas of scheduling and
operating system kernels. Given the vast amount of work that has been done by both the …

When you think about how far and fast computer science has progressed in recent years, it's
not hard to conclude that a seven-year old handbook may fall a little short of the kind of …

The CORBA Event Service provides a flexible model for asynchronous communication
among objects. However, the standard CORBA Event Service specification lacks important …

This paper briefly describes a resource reservation operating system abstraction that
supports real-time multimedia applications alongside non-real-time applications. This …

One of the main challenges in networking today is speeding up the rate of data
transmissions, an issue of increasing importance as the dependence on computer …

Real-time middleware services must guarantee predictable performance under specified
load and failure conditions, and ensure graceful degradation when these conditions are …

Scheduling theory holds great promise as a means to a priori validate timing correctness of
real-time applications. However, there currently exists a wide gap between scheduling …
