چکیده
by Dave Collins P r o d u c t i o n p rob lems this summer have forced a delay in the delivery of the 1983 Campanile. The Rice yearbook will be shipped in late October and will arrive by November 1, according to 1983 Editor Elizabeth Glass. Campanile editor Chip Clay cited various problems leading to the delay, including missed deadlines and the intentional mailing of blank pages to the publisher. The 70 blank pages included the sections for Brown C o l l e g e , K T R U F M , t h e Thresher, and scattered pages throughout the book. According to Clay, in a typical s i tuat ion Jos ten 's American Yearbook Company of Topeka, Kansas, sets a deadline of June 15 for submitting the complete yearbook to be published.

Dynamic Window-Constrained Scheduling for Real-Time Media Streaming
This paper describes an algorithm for scheduling packets in real-time multimedia data streams. Common to these classes of data streams are service constraints in terms of bandwidth and delay. However, it is typical for realtime multimedia streams to tolerate bounded delay variations and, in some cases, finite losses of packets. We have therefore developed a scheduling algorithm that assumes str...
متن کاملPatients Recruitment Forecast in Clinical Trials
Clinical trials are a long and tiresome process. Any misses here can delay time, add costs and result in missed opportunity. The leading culprit for missed clinical trial deadlines is the patient recruitment process. Patient enrollment is the most time-consuming aspect of the clinical trial process, estimated to take up to 30% of the clinical timeline. At the sensitive and crucial stage of deve...
متن کاملDynamic matching and bargaining with heterogeneous deadlines
This paper analyzes bargaining outcomes when agents do not have stationary time preferences (as represented by a constant discount factor) but are pressed by firm deadlines. We consider a dynamic model where traders with heterogeneous deadlines are matched randomly into pairs who then bargain about the division of a fixed surplus. A trader leaves the market when an agreement has been reached or...
متن کاملOn Using Temporal Consistency for Parallel Execution of Real-Time Queries in Wireless Sensor Systems
In this paper, we study the important issues for execution of real-time queries in a wireless sensor system in which sensor nodes are distributed to monitor the events that have occurred in the environment. Three important objectives in processing the real-time queries are: (1) to minimize the number of missed deadlines, (2) to minimize the processing costs, especially in data communication; an...
متن کاملWeakly Hard Real-Time Systems
ÐIn a hard real-time system, it is assumed that no deadline is missed, whereas, in a soft or firm real-time system, deadlines can be missed, although this usually happens in a nonpredictable way. However, most hard real-time systems could miss some deadlines provided that it happens in a known and predictable way. Also, adding predictability on the pattern of missed deadlines for soft and firm ...
