오늘날 많은 워크플로우 응용들은 마감 시간과 같은 시간 제약 조건들의 효율적인 관리를 요구하고 있다. 이러한 시간 제약성 워크플로우의 가장 중요한 목적들 중의 하나는 마감 시간을 만족하는 워크플로우 인스턴스의 수를 최대화하는 것이다. 시간 제약성 워크플로우 처리의 성능을 개선하기 위해서는 효과적인 액티비티들의 마감 시간 할당 방법이 요구된다. 이에 본 논문에서는 액티비티의 체재 시간과 워크플로우 제어 구조들의 특성을 고려하여 효과적인 마감 시간 할당 방법인 PST를 제안한다. PST는 기존의 방법들과 달리 워크플로우 제어 흐름을 분석하여 액티비티의 마감 시간을 할당하기 때문에 과부하에서도 높은 성능을 지원할 수 있다. 부가적으로 기존의 방법들과 성능 평가를 통해 본 논문에서 제안된 방법의 효용성을 검증한다.Abstract Nowadays, many workflow applications are requiring efficient time management such as deadline. With time-constrained workflows, one of the most important goals is to maximize the number of workflow instances that satisfy the deadline. In this regard, effective deadline assignment mechanisms should be developed to achieve high performance of time-constrained workflow processing. We propose in this paper our novel deadline assignment method called PST based on both an activity's sojourn time and the characteristics of workflow control structures. Because the method allocates the deadline to activities from analyzing the control flow of workflow, it can support good and stable workflow performance even under the high workload. In addition, we validate the usefulness of our proposed method through various experiments.

The IEEE 802.11 MAC (Media Access Control) Protocol supports two modes of operation, a random access mode for nonreal-time data applications processed by Distributed Coordinated Function (DCF), and a polling mode for real-time applications served by Point Coordinated Function (PCF). It is known that the standard IEEE 802.11 is insufficient to serve real-time traffic. To provide Quality of Service (QoS) of real-time traffic, we propose the Downlink-first scheduling with Earliest Due Date (EDD) in Contention Free Period (CFP) with suitable admission control. The capacity and deadline violation probability of the proposed system is analyzed and compared to the standard pair system of downlink and uplink. Analytical and simulation results show that the proposed scheme is remarkably efficient in view of the deadline violation probability.

This paper proposes an analysis method to check the schedulability of a set of sporadic tasks under earliest deadline first (EDF) scheduler. The sporadic task model consists of subtasks with precedence constraints, arbitrary arrival times and deadlines. In order to determine the schedulability, we present an approach to find exact worst case response time (WCRT) of subtatsks. With the technique presented in this paper, we exploit the precedence relations between subtasks in an accurate way while taking advantage of the deadline of different subtasks. Another nice feature of our approach is that it avoids calculation time overhead by exploiting the concept of deadline busy period. Experimental results show that this consideration leads to a significant improvement compared with existing work.

Wireless Sensor Network typically incorporates various real time applications that must meet timing constraints under severe resource limitations. Due to the high data rate and burst traffic for that type of applications, occurrence of congestion is very common. Ensuring the end-to-end deadline under congested scenario is quite challenging. In this paper we propose a hop-by-hop rate control algorithm which avoids the congestion as well as ensures that the real time traffic will meet the end-to-end deadline by guaranteeing the meeting of local deadline at intermediate hop. Finally, simulation has demonstrated the effectiveness of our approach.

Earliest virtual deadline zero laxity (EVDZL) algorithm is proposed for mobile GPU schedulers for its improved responsiveness. Responsiveness of user interface (UI) is one of the key factors in evaluating smart devices because of its significant impacts on user experiences. However, conventional GPU schedulers based on completely fair scheduling (CFS) shows a poor responsiveness due to its algorithmic complexity. In this letter, we present the EVDZL scheduler based on the conventional earliest deadline zero laxity (EDZL) algorithm by accommodating the virtual laxity concept into the scheduling. Experimental results show that the EVDZL scheduler improves the response time of the Android UI by 9.6% compared with the traditional CFS scheduler.

As application-specific requirements for wireless sensor networks emerge, both real-time and reliable communications become major research challenges in wireless sensor networks due to the many constraints on nodes and wireless links. To support these services, several protocols have been proposed. However, since most of them were designed as well as developed for general purpose applications, it is not recommended that they be directly adapted to applications with special requirements. In this paper, we propose a way to extend the current reliable transport protocol to cover a special real-time service, the (m,k)-firm deadline stream, in wireless sensor networks. While the proposed scheme is basically built on the PSFQ protocol for reliability, some features have been newly developed to support the (m,k)-firm stream efficiently. Finally, simulation results are given to demonstrate the feasibility of the proposed scheme in high traffic and with failed links.

In this paper, a novel method to determine the optimal checkpoint interval for real-time control task is proposed considering its performance degradation according to tasks's execution time. The control task in this paper has a specific sampling period shorter than its deadline. Control performance is degraded as the control task execution time is prolonged across the sampling period and eventually zero when reached to the deadline. A new performance index is defined to represent the performance variation due to the extension of task execution time accompanying rollback fault recovery. The procedure to find the optimal checkpoint interval is addressed and several simulation examples are presented.

자율 주행 자동차는 다수의 센서와 ECU 등으로 구성된 분산 시스템이다. 이 시스템은 다양한 시간적 제약사항들을 갖는 자율주행 응용들을 구동하며 각 응용들에 대한 시간적 제약사항 위반을 탐지해야한다. 이러한 분산 시스템에서 응용들 간의 통신을 위해 사용되는 미들웨어들 중 대표적인 것은 DDS이다. DDS는 높은 확장성을 지원하는 발행-구독 통신 모델을 기반으로 하며, 실시간성을 고려한 다양한 QoS 정책들을 제공한다. 하지만 DDS는 자율주행 응용이 요구하는 시간적 제약사항들 중 deadline과 correlation 제약 사항에 대한 위반 여부를 탐지하지 못한다. 본 논문은 DDS 기반 시스템에서 deadline과 correlation 제약 사항 위반 여부를 런타임에서 탐지하는 기법을 제안한다. 본 연구진은 제안된 기법을 DDS의 구현들 중 하나인 Vortex 사의 OpenSplice 기반 시스템에 구현하였다. 실험을 통해 검증한 결과, deadline과 correlation 제약 사항에 대한 위반 여부를 적은 오버헤드와 함께 성공적으로 탐지하였다.

The downlink rate scheduling problem is considered for CDMA networks with multiple users carrying packets of heterogeneous traffic (voice/audio only, bursty data only or mixed traffic), with each type having its own distinct quality of service requirements. Several rate scheduling algorithms are developed, the common factor of which is that part of the decision on which users to serve is based on a function of the deadline of their head-ofline packets. An approach of Andrews et al., in which the basic Earliest-Deadline-First algorithm is studied for similar systems, is extended to result in better performance by considering a more efficient power usage and by allowing service of more than one user per timeslot if the power resources permit it. Finally, the performance of the proposed schemes is compared through simulations.

Usually the static scheduling algorithms such as DMS(Deadline Monotonic Scheduling) or RMS(Rate Monotonic Scheduling) are used for CAN scheduling due to its ease with implementation. However, due to their inherently low utilization of network media, some dynamic scheduling approaches have been studied to enhance the utilization. In case of dynamic scheduling algorithms, two considerations are needed. The one is a priority inversion due to rough deadline encoding into stricted arbitration fields of CAN. The other is an arbitration delay due to the non-preemptive feature of CAN. In this paper, an extended algorithm is proposed from an existing EDS(Earliest Deadline Scheduling) approach of CAN scheduling algorithm having a solution to the priority inverstion ....
