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