Real-Time Systems Scheduling Volume 2

Real-time systems are used in a wide range of applications,including control, sensing, multimedia, etc. Scheduling is acentral problem for these computing/communication systems since itis responsible for software execution in a timely manner. Thisbook, the second of two volumes on the subject, brings togetherknowledge on specific topics and discusses the recent advances forsome of them. 

It addresses foundations as well as the latest advances andfindings in real-time scheduling, giving comprehensive referencesto important papers, but the chapters are short and not overloadedwith confusing details. Coverage includes scheduling approaches fornetworks and for energy autonomous systems. Other sophisticatedissues, such as feedback control scheduling and probabilisticscheduling, are also addressed.

This book can serve as a textbook for courses on the topic inbachelor’s degrees and in more advanced master’s degreeprograms. It also provides a reference for computer scientists andengineers involved in the design or the development ofCyber-Physical Systems which require up-to-date real-timescheduling solutions.
