Real-time control systems are complex to design, and automation support is important. We are interested in systems with multiple tasks, each with multiple modes, implementing a fu...
— In broadcast disk systems, information is broadcasted in a shared medium. When a client needs an item from the disk, it waits until that item is broadcasted. The fundamental al...
We present the queueing analysis of a degenerate buffer having access to a single server. This system cannot realize any given delay, but only values that are an integer multiple ...
This paper addresses the problem of scheduling jobs in soft real-time systems, where the utility of completing each job decreases over time. We present a utility-based framework fo...
Abstract. Time and timing features are an important aspect of modern electronic systems, often of embedded nature. We argue here that in early design phases, time is often of logic...
