11th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS)

Anton Cervin

Anton Cervin visited the 11th Euromicro Conference on Real-Time Systems (ECRTS) in York, England, UK, June 9-11, 1999. This year, the conference had a special emphasis on Real-Time and Control, and Anton presented the paper "Improved Scheduling of Control Tasks" in that session. An interesting paper in the same session was "The Case for Feedback Control Real-Time Scheduling", presented by John Stankovic. In that paper, an earliest-deadline-first scheduler containing a PID controller is presented. Using feedback in a consistent way, it is possible to cope with complex, dynamic real-time systems. Overall, at the conference there was a strong trend towards more flexible real-time systems, including papers in the sessions "QoS and Multimedia" and "Overload Scheduling". The notion of bandwidth-preserving servers was present in several papers co-authored by either Giorgio Buttazzo or Jane Liu.
