At early stages in the design of real-time embedded applications, the timing attributes of the
computational activities are often incompletely specified or subject to changes. Later in the …

Abstract A Command Governor (CG) is an optimization-based add-on scheme to a nominal
closed-loop system. It is used to enforce state and control constraints by modifying reference …

Applying classical dynamic voltage scaling (DVS) techniques to real-time systems running
on processors with discrete voltage/frequency modes causes a waste of computational …

In many application areas, including control systems, careful management of system
resources is key to providing the best application performance. Most traditional resource …

Transient overload conditions may cause unpredictable performance degradations in
computer controlled systems if not properly handled. To prevent such problems, a common …

The paper presents an empirical study on the correlation of simple code metrics and
maintenance necessities. The goal of the work is to provide a method for the estimation of …

With increasing dependency on communication systems, finite communication bandwidth
has become the bottleneck of networked control system (NCS). Research on NCS is not only …

We evolve a methodology and define a metric to evaluate Tactile Cyber-Physical Systems
(TCPS). Towards this goal, we use the step response analysis, a well-known control …

In most real-time applications, deadlines are artifices that need to be enforced to meet
different performance requirements. For example, in periodic task sets, jitter requirements …

This paper proposes a new approach for the optimal integrated control and real-time
scheduling of control tasks. First, the problem of the optimal integrated control and …
