Based on the analysis of vehicles total number growth rates, which exceed rates expansion and optimization transport infrastructure, need for introduction real-time traffic forecasting control systems is shown. The factors that make it possible to detect probability potentially dangerous situations road, such as jams, accidents lack parking spaces, respectively, in certain urban areas, based da...

The development of commercial real-time location system (RTLS) enables new ICT solutions. This paper presents an intelligent surveillance system for indoor high-security environments based on RTLS and artificial intelligence methods. The system consists of several software modules each specialized for detection of specific security risks. The validation shows that the system is capable of detec...

Now more than ever, the quality of an operating system is more a subject of religious debate than of technical merit. The Windows community is like the Catholic Church; it has the largest following, its rituals are the most baroque and Bill Gates is as infallible as the Pope. The Unix community is like the mainstream protestant church; it has quite a large following, rituals which, by and large...

We explore the integration of firm real-time processing— where processing completed after its deadline has no value but some jobs may be terminated or skipped—into an integrated real-time system managing hard, soft, and non-realtime processes. We show that it is feasible to add firm realtime processing to an integrated environment and that concurrently executing soft real-time processes can ben...

Distributed real-time systems play a very important role in our modern society. They are used in aircraft control, communication systems, military command and control systems, factory automation, and robotics. However, satisfying the rigid timing requirements of various real-time activities in distributed real-time systems often requires ad hoc methods to tune the system's runtime behavior The ...
