In an attempt to provide a practical means to measure the information
processing capacity of a real-time digital processing system a
theoretical framework, the Real-Time Schemata, whose basis is a
schematic description and a measure of "useful information," is presented.
The description applies to processes that would typically be
implemented...
In process control systems where an entire process
is being controlled by a computer, the component tasks of
the system have to be monitored. An efficient message
oriented environment could be an important factor in the
optimization of such systems. In this paper we discuss
the design of a real...
Graphics resource allocation has often existed on the periphery of graphics research, taking second place to faster or more realistic algorithms for global illumination and modeling. Most research has focused on generating sets of images that best match the effects one might see in photographs. While this approach works well...
Multimedia applications such as video streaming and Voice over IP are becoming common today with the tremendous growth of the Internet. General purpose operating systems thus are required to support these applications. These multimedia applications have some timing constraints that need to be satisfied for good quality. For example, video...
