Real-Time Applications with Stochastic Task Execution Times - Analysis and Optimisation

This book presents three approaches to the analysis of the deadline miss ratio of applications with stochastic task execution times. Each best fits a different context: an exact one efficiently applicable to monoprocessor systems; an approximate one, which allows for designer-controlled trade-off between analysis accuracy and analysis speed; and one less accurate but sufficiently fast in order to be placed inside optimization loops.


Zebo Peng and Petru Eles have both (co)authored several successful research monographs for Springer. They are also getting increasingly more established within the EDA community, Prof. Zebo Peng will be Technical Chair at DATE 2007 and Prof. Petru Eles is General Chair for the 2006 Embedded Systems Week conference.
