A challenging research issue of analyzing a real-time system is to model the tasks composing the system and the resource provided to the system. In this paper, we propose a probabilistic component-based model which abstracts in the interfaces both the functional and non-functional requirements of such systems. This approach allows designers to unify in the same framework probabilistic scheduling techniques...
Often real-time systems can run in different modes depending on the external environment or their internal state. Each operational mode is characterized by a set of tasks with different computational demand, resource requirements, and resource availability. When resource reservation is used to achieve temporal isolation among applications, the reservation parameters may need to change from mode to...
In this paper we investigate the problem of reactive on-line bandwidth allocation in adaptive Wireless Sensor Networks. In adaptive WSN for monitoring applications, nodes can react to physical events by adapting their behavior, for instance increasing the amount of computation to be performed, or reducing the amount of consumed energy. Accordingly, the nodes may increase or decrease their bandwidth...
Recently, researchers and engineers began considering the use of WSN in time-sensitive applications. For effective real-time communications, it is important to solve the problem of contention to the communication medium providing an efficient bandwidth allocation mechanism. In this paper we tackle with the problem of performing timely detection of events by a WSN. We propose a real-time bandwidth...
Multi-Processor Systems-on-Chip (MPSoC) are an increasingly important design paradigm not only for mobile embedded systems but also for industrial applications such as automotive and avionic systems. Such systems typically execute multiple concurrent applications, with different execution modes. Modes define differences in functionality and computational resource demands and are assigned with an execution...
Dynamic power management has become essential for battery-driven embedded systems. This paper explores how to efficiently and effectively reduce the energy consumption of a device (system) for serving multiple event streams. Considering two different preemptive scheduling, i.e., earliest deadline first and fixed priority, we propose new method to adaptively control the power mode of the device according...
Power dissipation has constrained the performance boosting of modern computer systems in the past decade. Dynamic power management (DPM) has been implemented in many systems to change the system (or device) state dynamically to reduce the power consumption. This paper explores how to efficiently and effectively reduce the energy consumption to handle event streams with hard real-time or quality of...
Power dissipation has constrained the performance boosting of modern computer systems in the past decade. Dynamic power management has been widely applied to change the system (or device) state dynamically to reduce the power consumption. This paper explores how to effectively reduce the energy consumption to handle event streams with hard real-time guarantees. We adopt Real-Time Calculus to describe...
