In general computing systems, a job (process/task) may suspend itself whilst it is waiting for
some activity to complete, eg, an accelerator to return data. In real-time systems, such self …

With benefits of low storage costs and high query speeds, hashing methods are widely
researched for efficiently retrieving large-scale data, which commonly contains multiple …

Recent results have shown that the feasibility problem of scheduling periodic tasks with self-
suspensions is NP-hard in the strong sense. We observe that a variation of the problem …

In work on multiprocessor real-time systems, task scheduling with self-suspensions is a
relatively unexplored topic. In this paper, soft real-time sporadic task systems are considered …

A simple logical threshold voltage control circuit is proposed. It can be implemented using
normal conventional CMOS inverters. The proposed circuit is able to control a logical …

Human-robot collaboration requires the two sides to coordinate their actions in order to
better accomplish common goals. In such setups, the timing of actions may significantly …

Task execution by a coordinated team of robots that feature different skills and
competencies, offers certain advantages over a single robot. To better coordinate individual …

While most prior work on multiprocessor real-time scheduling focuses on independent tasks,
dependencies due to non-preemptive sections, suspensions, and pipeline-based …

In work on globally-scheduled soft real-time multiprocessor systems, analysis has been
presented for dealing with self-suspensions, but this analysis can be pessimistic. In this …

The advent of multicore technologies is a fundamental development that is impacting
software design processes across a wide range of application domains, including an …
