Network calculus is a min-plus system theory which facilitates the efficient derivation of performance bounds for networks of queues. It has successfully been applied to provide e...
Previous work on scheduling dynamic competitive jobs is focused on multiprocessors configurations. This paper presents a new distributed dynamic scheduling scheme for sporadic re...
Abstract. Low-discrepancy point distributions exhibit excellent uniformity properties for sampling in applications such as rendering and measurement. We present an algorithm for ge...
