Real-time embedded systems have been widely deployed in missioncritical applications, such as avionics mission computing, highway traffic control, remote patient monitoring, wireless communications, navigation, etc. These applications always require their real-time and embedded components to work in open and unpredictable environments, where workload is volatile and unknown. In order to guarant...

Failures are increasingly threatening the efficiency of HPC systems, and current projections of Exascale platforms indicate that rollback recovery, the most convenient method for providing fault tolerance to generalpurpose applications, reaches its own limits at such scales. One of the reasons explaining this unnerving situation comes from the focus that has been given to per-application comple...

This paper proposes a new novel scheduling algorithms to schedule periodic tasks for soft real time system. This is a planning based offline scheduler where tasks are scheduled on the basis of its instantaneous utilization. Here after every quantum of execution, instantaneous utilization of each task is calculated. Task which is having highest instantaneous utilization is scheduled to the proce...

The Army has been an all-volunteer force since 1 July 1973 when the draft was finally discontinued due to the controversy surrounding the Vietnam War. According to Simpson (1994), the last draftee entered basic training in June 1973. In FY 1997, for only the second time since its conversion to an all-volunteer force, the Army came very close to not meeting its annual recruiting goal of 89,700 n...

Intrauterine contraceptive devices and the progestin implant are the most effective long-acting reversible contraception (LARC) methods available for preventing unintended pregnancy. LARC devices are safe, non-user-dependent methods that have the highest rates of continuation and satisfaction of all reversible contraceptives. Use of these contraceptives remains low in the United States due to s...

A real-time system is any information processing system that has to respond to externally generated input stimuli within a finite and specified period: the correctness depends not only on the logical result but also on the time it was delivered; the failure to respond is as bad as the wrong response [1]. Real-time systems can be constructed out of sequential programs but are typically built fro...
