(m,k)-firm constraints have been used to schedule tasks in soft/firm real-time systems under overloaded conditions. In general, they are provided by application designers to guara...
Current methods cannot synthesize real-time embedded software applications when the global deadline of a task is shorter than the total of all local deadlines along a critical pat...
This paper addresses the problem of mapping an application, which is highly dynamic in the future, onto a heterogeneous multiprocessor platform in an energy efficient way. A two-p...

We show that CSMA is able to spontaneously synchronize transmissions in a wireless network with constant-size packets, and that this property can be used to devise efficient synch...
The typical workload in a database system consists of a mixture of multiple queries of different types, running concurrently and interacting with each other. Hence, optimizing per...
