Timing Analysis of Compound Scheduling Policies: Application to Posix1003.1B

Distributed Pipeline Scheduling: A Framework for Distributed, Heterogeneous Real-Time System Design

This paper describes the Distributed Pipeline Scheduling Framework that provides a systematic approach to designing distributed, heterogeneous realtime systems. This paper formalizes Distributed Pipelining Scheduling by providing a set of abstractions and transformations to map real-time applications to system resources, to create highly efficient and predictable systems, and to de-compose the ...

Fine Tuning the Scheduling of Tasks on Posix1003.1b Compliant Systems

Improving Tor security against timing and traffic analysis attacks with fair randomization

The Tor network is probably one of the most popular online anonymity systems in the world. It has been built based on the volunteer relays from all around the world. It has a strong scientific basis which is structured very well to work in low latency mode that makes it suitable for tasks such as web browsing. Despite the advantages, the low latency also makes Tor insecure against timing and tr...

Interchangeable Scheduling Policies in Real-Time Middleware for Distribution

When a middleware layer is designed for providing semi-transparent distribution facilities to real-time applications, a trade-off must be made between the expressiveness and control capabilities of the real-time parameters used, and the simplicity of usage. Middleware specifications such as RT-CORBA or Ada’s Distributed Systems Annex (DSA) rely on the use of priorities to map the timing require...

Analysis and Optimisation of Distributed Embedded Systems with Heterogeneous Scheduling Policies

The growing amount and diversity of functions to be implemented by the current and future embedded applications (like, for example, in automotive electronics) have shown that, in many cases, time-triggered and event-triggered functions have to coexist on the computing nodes and to interact over the communication infrastructure. When time-triggered and event-triggered activities have to share th...
