Abstract. The paper examines the behaviour of a saturated multiprocessor system to which fully synchronous parallel jobs are submitted. In order to simplify the analysis, we assume...
Abstract. Commitments play a central role in multi-agent coordination. However, they are inherently uncertain and it is important to take these uncertainties into account during pl...
A large body of work exists in process industry supply chain optimisation. We describe the state of the art of research in infrastructure design, modelling and analysis and planni...
Real-time systems are often designed using a set of periodic tasks. Task periods are usually set by the system requirements, but deadlines and computation times can be modified i...
Current hard real-time technologies are unable to support a new class of applications that have real-time constraints but with dynamic request arrivals and unpredictable resource r...
