Multi-Tasking POM Systems

Multi-tasking for TinyOS

Tasks in TinyOS execute non-preemptively and run to completion, forcing programmers to keep individual tasks short and spread lengthy operations across multiple tasks – a major divergence from conventional programming paradigms. This report documents our attempt to incorporate multi-tasking into TinyOS and its subsequent effect on power consumption of “motes”. We succeeded in modifying the Tiny...

Contests with multi-tasking

Fault-tolerant cooperative tasking for multi-agent systems

A natural way for cooperative tasking in multi-agent systems is through a top-down design by decomposing a global task into subtasks for each individual agent such that the accomplishments of these subtasks will guarantee the achievement of the global task. In our previous works [1], [2], we presented necessary and sufficient conditions on the decomposability of a global task automaton between ...

The Multi-Tasking Robot Control through Open Architecture Systems

This paper shows a new technical solution called OPEN ARCHITECTURE for the contour path robot control on six axis of freedom degrees in system multi-microprocessor with PLC interfaced with PC in order to obtain to obtain high performances. Through the development to of this method the system becomes open to new control functions: compliance and comprehensive actions. The method of computation i...

A task graph execution manager for reconfigurable multi-tasking systems

Reconfigurable hardware can be used to build multi-tasking systems that dynamically adapt themselves to the requirements of the running applications. This is especially useful in embedded systems, since the available resources are very limited and the reconfigurable hardware can be reused for different applications. In these systems computations are frequently represented as task graphs that ar...
