Book Real Time Database and Information Systems  Research Advances

Download or read book Real Time Database and Information Systems Research Advances written by Azer Bestavros and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2012-12-06 with total page 438 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Real-time systems are defined as those for which correctness depends not only on the logical properties of the produced results, but also on the temporal properties of these results. In a database, real-time means that in addition to typical logical consistency constraints, such as a constraint on a data item's value, there are constraints on when transactions execute and on the `freshness' of the data transactions access. The challenges and tradeoffs faced by the designers of real-time database systems are quite different from those faced by the designers of general-purpose database systems. To achieve the fundamental requirements of timeliness and predictability, not only do conventional methods for scheduling and transaction management have to be redesigned, but also new concepts that have not been considered in conventional database systems or in real-time systems need to be added. Real-Time Database and Information Systems: Research Advances is devoted to new techniques for scheduling of transactions, concurrency management, transaction logging, database languages, and new distributed database architectures. Real-Time Database and Information Systems: Research Advances is primarily intended for practicing engineers and researchers working in the growing area of real-time database and information retrieval systems. For practitioners, the book will provide a much needed bridge for technology transfer and continued education. For researchers, the book will provide a comprehensive reference for well-established results. The book can also be used in a senior or graduate level course on real-time systems, real-time database systems, and database systems, or closely related courses.

Book Fault Tolerant Real Time Scheduling for Multiprocessor Systems

Download or read book Fault Tolerant Real Time Scheduling for Multiprocessor Systems written by Rakesh K Bansal and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-01 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Owing to advances in VLSI and other related technologies, real-time systems have come to an age where their presence is being felt in almost every facet of human life.There is a steady rising trend in the fraction of all processors, manufactured worldwide, that find their way to real-time applications. Most of these time and mission critical applications demand reliable processing environment to guarantee error free execution and completion within the respective time deadlines. Scheduling algorithms can provide low-cost solutions to fault-tolerance and graceful performance degradation by exploiting tradeoffs between space or time redundancy, timing accuracy, and quality of service. The intricacies of Primary- Backup fault-tolerance approach that works fine for independent task scheduling are explored for DAG structured applications through examples. This work contributes toward understanding and analyzing fault-tolerance issue for precedence-constrained real-time applications, on homogeneous and heterogeneous multiprocessing platforms, and developing a new 100% 1-fault-tolerant algorithm in this much desirable and critical research area.

Book Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments

Download or read book Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments written by Kian-Lee Tan and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-12-08 with total page 176 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In our increasingly mobile world the ability to access information on demand at any time and place can satisfy people's information needs as well as confer on them a competitive advantage. The emergence of battery-operated, low-cost and portable computers such as palmtops and PDAs, coupled with the availability and exploitation of wireless networks, have made possible the potential for ubiquitous computing. Through the wireless networks, portable equipments will become an integrated part of existing distributed computing environments, and mobile users can have access to data stored at information servers located at the static portion of the network even while they are on the move. Traditionally, information is retrieved following a request-response model. However, this model is no longer adequate in a wireless computing environment. First, the wireless channel is unreliable and the bandwidth is low compared to the wired counterpart. Second, the environment is essentially asymmetric with a large number of mobile users accessing a small number of servers. Third, battery-operated portable devices can typically operate only for a short time because of the short battery lifespan. Thus, clients are expected to be disconnected most of the time. To overcome these limitations, there has been a proliferation of research efforts on designing data delivery mechanisms to support wireless computing more effectively. Data Dissemination in Wireless Computing Environments focuses on such mechanisms. The purpose is to provide a thorough and comprehensive review of recent advances on energy-efficient data delivery protocols, efficient wireless channel bandwidth utilization, reliable broadcasting and cache invalidation strategies for clients with long disconnection time. Besides surveying existing methods, this book also compares and evaluates some of the more promising schemes.

Book Deadline Scheduling for Real Time Systems

Download or read book Deadline Scheduling for Real Time Systems written by John A. Stankovic and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1998-10-31 with total page 294 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Many real-time systems rely on static scheduling algorithms. This includes cyclic scheduling, rate monotonic scheduling and fixed schedules created by off-line scheduling techniques such as dynamic programming, heuristic search, and simulated annealing. However, for many real-time systems, static scheduling algorithms are quite restrictive and inflexible. For example, highly automated agile manufacturing, command, control and communications, and distributed real-time multimedia applications all operate over long lifetimes and in highly non-deterministic environments. Dynamic real-time scheduling algorithms are more appropriate for these systems and are used in such systems. Many of these algorithms are based on earliest deadline first (EDF) policies. There exists a wealth of literature on EDF-based scheduling with many extensions to deal with sophisticated issues such as precedence constraints, resource requirements, system overload, multi-processors, and distributed systems. Deadline Scheduling for Real-Time Systems: EDF and Related Algorithms aims at collecting a significant body of knowledge on EDF scheduling for real-time systems, but it does not try to be all-inclusive (the literature is too extensive). The book primarily presents the algorithms and associated analysis, but guidelines, rules, and implementation considerations are also discussed, especially for the more complicated situations where mathematical analysis is difficult. In general, it is very difficult to codify and taxonomize scheduling knowledge because there are many performance metrics, task characteristics, and system configurations. Also, adding to the complexity is the fact that a variety of algorithms have been designed for different combinations of these considerations. In spite of the recent advances there are still gaps in the solution space and there is a need to integrate the available solutions. For example, a list of issues to consider includes: preemptive versus non-preemptive tasks, uni-processors versus multi-processors, using EDF at dispatch time versus EDF-based planning, precedence constraints among tasks, resource constraints, periodic versus aperiodic versus sporadic tasks, scheduling during overload, fault tolerance requirements, and providing guarantees and levels of guarantees (meeting quality of service requirements). Deadline Scheduling for Real-Time Systems: EDF and Related Algorithms should be of interest to researchers, real-time system designers, and instructors and students, either as a focussed course on deadline-based scheduling for real-time systems, or, more likely, as part of a more general course on real-time computing. The book serves as an invaluable reference in this fast-moving field.

Book Fault Tolerant Real Time Heterogeneous Distributed System

Download or read book Fault Tolerant Real Time Heterogeneous Distributed System written by Aser Avinash Ekka and published by LAP Lambert Academic Publishing. This book was released on 2011-12 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Fault-tolerance becomes an important key to establish dependability in Real Time Distributed Systems (RTDS). In fault-tolerant Real Time Distributed systems, detection of fault and its recovery should be executed in timely manner so that in spite of fault occurrences the intended output of real-time computations always take place on time. Hardware and software redundancy are well-known effective methods for fault tolerance, where extra hard ware (e.g., processors, communication links) and software (e.g., tasks, messages) are added into the system to deal with faults. Performances of RTDS are mostly guided by efficiency of scheduling algorithm and schedulability analyses are performed on the system to ensure the timing constrains. Fault tolerance can be achieved by scheduling additional ghost copies in addition to the primary copy of the task. The method proposed here extends the traditional distributed recovery block (DRB) based fault tolerant scheduling approach for real time tasks. Our algorithms are mostly based on software redundancy, and ensures that the parallel updating of backup task works better in case of transient overload and handles permanent, transient and timing fau

Book A Fault Tolerance Distributed Real Time System  Design and Implementation

Download or read book A Fault Tolerance Distributed Real Time System Design and Implementation written by Amira Sallow and published by GRIN Verlag. This book was released on 2014-03-11 with total page 125 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Doctoral Thesis / Dissertation from the year 2013 in the subject Computer Science - General, grade: 90, University of Mosul (College of Computer Sciences And Mathematics), language: English, abstract: Now a day completed real-time systems are distributed. One of the working area of real-time scheduling is distributed scheduling. Task scheduling in distributed systems is dealt with two levels: on the level of each processor (local scheduling), and on the level of the allocation of tasks to processors (global scheduling). In this thesis, a distributed real-time system with fault tolerance has been designed and called Fault Tolerance Distributed Real Time System FTDRTS. The system consists of heterogeneous processors act as servers and clients connected together via LAN communication network. This system has two types of scheduling schemes: (1) global model scheduling, (2) independent model scheduling for scheduling tasks in real time distributed manner. The time utility function TUF has been developed and called the DTUF (Developed TUF) function. This function gives another dimension and used to priorities’ tasks, based on whether they are Urgent or Important, or both, or neither. A fault tolerance protocol called DRT-FTIP (Distributed Real Time – Fault Tolerance Integrity Protocol) has been developed. This protocol increases the integrity of the scheduling in distributed real time systems. The proposed Distributed Real-Time system with its scheduling algorithms and integrity protocol have been designed using the Java Remote Method Invocation (RMI) and use the Flight Reservation System as a case study. The simulation results of this proposed distributed realtime system using global scheduling algorithm gives Deadline Satisfaction Ratio (DSR) equal 95%. While Accrued Utility Ratio (AUR) equal 0.7286.
