The object-oriented design methods and their CASE tools are widely used in practice by many real-time software developers. However, object-oriented CASE tools require an additional step of identifying tasks from a given design model. Unfortunately, it is difficult to automate this step for a couple of reasons: (1) there are inherent discrepancies between objects and tasks; and (2) it is hard to derive tasks while maximizing real-time schedulability since this problem makes a non-trivial optimization problem. As a result, in practical object-oriented CASE tools, task identification is usually performed in an ad-hoc manner using hints provided by human designers. In this paper, we present a systematic, schedulability-aware approach that can help mapping real-time object-oriented models to multi-threaded implementations. In our approach, a task contains a group of mutually exclusive transactions that may possess different periods and deadline. For this new task model, we provide a new schedulability analysis algorithm. We also show how the run-time system is implemented and how executable code is generated in our frame work. We have performed a case study. It shows the difficulty of task derivation problem and the utility of the automated synthesis of implementations as well as the Inappropriateness of the single-threaded implementations.

CCSR은 CCS에 시간적인 개념이 추가된 실시간 명세 언어로 실시간 프로세스의 정적 분석에 이용되고 있다. CCSR은 프로세스 전이 규칙을 이용하여 프로세스 동작의 관심 부분만 하여 분석하기 때문에 전체 태스크(task)의 동작을 분석하는데 적용하기 어렵고, 전이규칙에 따른 상태 변화를 이해하기 어렵다. E-TCPN은 시간 요소가 첨가된 Petri Net의 변형된 형태로 실시간 시스템의 분석과 모델링을 위한 형식적(formal) 방법을 제공한다. 본 논문에서는 CCSR로 표현된 프로세스 동작을 E-TCPN 모델에 적용함으로써 실시간 시스템을 중요한 사건을 중심으로 전체 태스크의 동작 과정을 표현하고 프로세스의 수행 과정을 이해하기 쉽도록 CCSR을 변형하여, E-TCPN 명세 모델에 적용하고, 적용된 E-TCPN으로 스케줄링가능성 분석 알고리즘을 제안하고 구현하였다.

Many of multimedia applications in distributed environments generate the packets which have the real-time characteristics for continuous audio/video data and transmit them according to the teal-time task scheduling theories. In this paper, we model the traffic for continuous media in the distributed multimedia applications based on the high-bandwidth networks and introduce the PDMA algorithm which is the hard real-time task scheduling theory for guaranteeing QoS requested by the clients. Furthermore, we propose the admission control to control the new request not to interfere the current services for maintaining the high quality of services of the applications. Since the proposed admission control is sufficient for the PDMA algorithm, the PDMA algorithm is always able to find the feasible schedule for the set of messages which satisfies it. Therefore, if the set of messages including the new request to generate the new traffic. Otherwise, it rejects the new request. In final, we present the simulation results for showing that the scheduling with the proposed admission control is of practical use.

본 논문은 배전 계통에서 부하 제약조건과 운전 제약조건을 고려한 손실 감소와 부하 평형에 대해 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 알고리즘을 적용한 재구성 방법을 서술하였다. 네트워크 재구성은 수많은 연계 개폐기와 구분 개폐기의 조합에 의해 이루어지기 때문에 조합적인 최적화 문제이다. 이러한 문제는 수많은 조합에 제약조건까지 있어 해를 구하기가 쉽지 않을 뿐 아니라 국소 해에 빠질 가능성이 많다. 따라서 신경망 중에서 제약조건에 따라 신경망 구조에 영향을 미치지 않으면서 전역 최소해에 수렴하는 특성을 가진 시뮬레이티드 어닐링 기법을 이용하여 배전 계통의 선로를 재구성하였다. 시뮬레이티드 어닐링은 이론적으로 최적해가 보장되지만 무한대의 시간이 걸리기 때문에 현실적으로 적용할 때 해 공간을 탐색하는 규칙과 온도를 적절히 내리는 냉각 스케줄(cooling schedule)이 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 알고리즘 상에서 제약조건 위반 여부를 점검할 수 있는 제약조건과 페널티 상수(penalty factor)를 통해 목적함수에 반영하는 제약조건으로 나누어 모든 후보해를 가능해가 되게 하였고 기존에 사용되던 Kirkpatrick의 냉각 스케줄 대신에 후보해의 통계적 처리에 의해 온도를 내리는 다항-시간 냉각 스케줄(polynomial-time cooling schedule)을 사용하여 수행시간을 단축하고 수렴성을 높였다. 제안한 알고리즘의 효용성을 입증하기 위해 32, 69모선 예제 계통으로 테스트하였다.

The imprecise real-time system provides flexibility in scheduling time-critical tasks. Most scheduling problems of satisfying both 0/1 constraint and timing constraints, while the total error is minimized, are NP-complete when the optional tasks have arbitrary processing times. Liu suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on uniprocessors for minimizing the total error. Song et at suggested a reasonable strategy of scheduling tasks with the 0/1 constraint on multiprocessors for minimizing the total error. But, these algorithms are all off-line algorithms. In the online scheduling, the NORA algorithm can find a schedule with the minimum total error for the imprecise online task system. In NORA algorithm, EDF strategy is adopted in the optional scheduling. On the other hand, for the task system with 0/1 constraint, EDF_Scheduling may not be optimal in the sense that the total error is minimized. Furthermore, when the optional tasks are scheduled in the ascending order of their required processing times, NORA algorithm which EDF strategy is adopted may not produce minimum total error. Therefore, in this paper, an online algorithm is proposed to minimize total error for the imprecise task system with 0/1 constraint. Then, to compare the performance between the proposed algorithm and NORA algorithm, a series of experiments are performed. As a conseqence of the performance comparison between two algorithms, it has been concluded that the proposed algorithm can produce similar total error to NORA algorithm when the optional tasks are scheduled in the random order of their required processing times but, the proposed algorithm can produce less total error than NORA algorithm especially when the optional tasks are scheduled in the ascending order of their required processing times.

경성 실시간 시스템(Hard Real-Time System)어서는 주기 태스크들의 엄격한 마감시간(Deadline) 보장이 시스템의 성능을 좌우한다. 본 논문에서는 CPU의 이용률(Utilization)이 높아 비율단조 정책으로는 마감시간을 보장 할 수 없는 주기 태스크들을 위해 확장된 스케줄 가능성 검사를 통해 수행할 태스크들의 공통 주기(L.C.M : Least Common Multiple)내에서 EDF(Earliest-Deadline First) 정책을 기반으로 마감시간 보장 수행패턴(Feasible Pattern)을 찾고, 이를 참조하여 우선순위를 고려하지 않고 태스크들을 강제 수행할 수 있게 하는 비율단조 기반의 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. EDF를 기반으로 생성된 패턴은 EDF 정책의 특성에 따라 CPU의 이용률을 100% 까지 가능하게 하며 패턴을 참조하여 강제 수행함으로써 EDF 정책이 갖는 실행시간 스케쥴링 오버헤드를 없앨 수 있다.

Since continuous media such as video and audio data are displayed within a certain time constraint, their computation and manipulation should be handled under limited condition. Traditional real-time scheduling algorithms cold be directly applicable, because they are not suitable for multimedia scheduling applications which support many clients at the same time. Rate Regulating Proportional Share Scheduling Algorithm based on the stride scheduler is a scheduling algorithm considered the time constraint of the continuous media. The stride schedulers, which are designed to general tasks, guarantee the fairness of resource allocation and predictability. The key concept of RRPSSA is a rate regulator which prevents tasks from receiving more resource than its share in a given period. But this algorithm loses fairness which is a strong point of the stride schedulers, and does not show graceful degradation of performance under overloaded situation. This paper proposes a new modified algorithm, namely Modified Proportional Share Scheduling Algorithm considering the characteristics of multimedia data such as its continuity and time dependency. Proposed scheduling algorithm shows graceful degradation of performance in overloaded situation and it reduces the scheduling violations up to 70% by maintaining the fair resource allocation. The number of context switching is 8% less than RRPSSA and the overall performance is increased.

Due to the recent advances in IoT technologies, reducing power consumption in battery-based IoT devices becomes an important issue. An IoT device is a kind of real-time systems, and processor voltage scaling is known to be effective in reducing power consumption. However, recent research has shown that power consumption in memory increases dramatically in such systems. This paper aims at combining processor voltage scaling and low-power NVRAM technologies to reduce power consumption further. Our main idea is that if a task is schedulable in a lower voltage mode of a processor, we can expect that the task will still be schedulable even on slow NVRAM memory. We incorporate the NVRAM memory allocation problem into processor voltage scaling, and evaluate the effectiveness of the combined approach.

Increasing energy efficiency in factories is an activity aimed at optimizing resource allocation in manufacturing processes to establish production plans. However, this strategy may not apply effectively when night shifts are unavoidable. Additionally, continuous fluctuations in production requirements pose challenges for its implementation in the factory. Recently, with the rapid proliferation of electric vehicles (EVs), technology utilizing electric vehicle batteries as energy storage systems has gained attention. Technology using these batteries can be an alternative for factory energy management. In this paper, a factory energy management method using EV batteries is proposed. The proposed method is analyzed using PSCAD/EMTDC software, considering the state of charge of EV batteries and Time-of-Use (TOU) rates. The proposed method was compared with production scheduling established considering predicted power usage and TOU rates. As a result, production scheduling saved 4,152 KRW per day, while the proposed method saved 7,286 KRW in electricity costs. Through this paper, the possibility of utilizing EV batteries for factory energy management has been demonstrated.
