WMN (Wireless Mesh Network) is usually built on fixed stations and interconnected via wireless links to form a multi-hop network. Typical and inexpensive deployment of WMNs use some MSSs (Mesh Subscriber Station) and one MBS (Mesh Base Station), where their multi-hop feature can be utilized to increase their range of accessibility in rural areas effectively. Moreover, since they are dynamically...

Ongoing research is discussed on the development of operating-system support for enabling mixed-criticality workloads to be supported on multicore platforms. This work is motivated by avionics systems in which such workloads occur. In the mixed-criticality workload model that is considered, task execution costs may be determined using more-stringent methods at high criticality levels, and lesss...
