We present a framework, called meta scheduler, for implementing real-time scheduling
algorithms. The meta scheduler is a portable middleware layer component designed for …

Distributed applications typically interact with a number of heterogeneous and autonomous
components that evolve independently. Methodical development of such applications can …

Emerging applications have increasingly specialized scheduling requirements. Changing
the scheduling policy of an existing OS is, however, often difficult because scheduling code …

Extensible operating system is a design based on the idea that operating systems can be
adapted to meet user requirements by allowing user extensions. In a different scenario, that …

A great part of software development challenges can be solved by one universal tool:
Abstraction. Developers solve development challenges by using expressions and concepts …

A primary goal of AOSD in the context of systems software has been to permit improved
modularity without significantly degrading performance. Optimizations represent important …

Aspect-oriented programming (AOP) and implementation of system software are fairly
complex tasks on their own. Combining these two severe challenges seems to be not very …

WSLAs can be viewed as describing the service aspect of Web services. By their nature,
Web services are distributed. Therefore, integrating support code into a Web service …

Operating system code is complex. But, while substantial complexity is inherent to this
domain, other complexity is caused by modularity problems. The implementation of certain …

La complexification des architectures matérielles pousse vers l'utilisation de paradigmes de
programmation de haut niveau pour concevoir des applications scientifiques efficaces …
