A real-time system consists of both aperiodic and periodic tasks. Periodic tasks have regular arrival times and hard deadlines. Aperiodic tasks have irregular arrival times and either soft or hard deadlines. In this paper, we present a new algorithm, the Sporadic Server algorithm, that greatly improves response times for soft-deadline aperiodic tasks and can guarantee hard deadlines for both pe...

Control engineering education at Electrical Engineering, Korea Advanced Institute of Science and Technology is discussed, which emphasizes experiments on real-time control system implementation. In addition to various lectures for theoretical control system analyses, appropriate hands-on experiments are performed for control system implementation utilizing up-to-date embedded system technology....

Firms increasingly follow an “always on” philosophy, publishing multiple pieces of firm-generated content (FGC) every day. Current methodologies used in marketing are unfit to unbiasedly capture the impact FGC disseminated intermittently throughout day on stock markets characterized by ultra-high-frequency trading. They also neither distinguish between permanent (i.e., long-term) and temporary ...

We examine an unexplored side of management control systems (MCS): their links with real earnings management. propose that interactive use MCS supports in identifying, evaluating, selecting, and implementing actions conceptually would be classified as (REM). Interactive is predicted to enhance managerial REM retain the focus organization on its strategic objectives, leading higher future perfor...

Today competitive environment has enforced practitioners and researchers to pay great attention to issues enhancing both production and marketing competitiveness. To do so, it has been obligatory for the firms to consider production side activities while customer requirements are on the other side of competition. In this regard, hybrid make-to-stock (MTS)/make-to-order (MTO) production systems ...
