As the complexity of computing systems steadily increases, self-managing systems – as Autonomic Computing Systems (ACS) proposed by IBM – are an adequate approach to minimize ...
Markov-Chain (MC) based constraints have been shown to be an effective QoS measure for a class of real-time systems, particularly those arising from control applications. Scheduli...
