Abstract—Embedded system secondary storage size is often constrained, yet storage demands are growing as a result of increasing application complexity and storage of personal dat...
Declustering techniques reduce query response times through parallel I/O by distributing data among multiple devices. Recently, replication based approaches were proposed to furth...
We address in this paper the problem of scheduling for multiprocessor real-time systems with hard and soft tasks. Utility functions are associated to soft tasks to capture their r...
This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
Integration of heterogeneous data types is a challenging problem, especially in biology, where the number of databases and data types increase rapidly. Amongst the problems that o...
