Scheduling real-time tasks: algorithms and complexity
Sanjoy Baruah, Joël Goossens, Joseph Y-T. Leung · 2004
The use of computers to control safety-critical real-time functions has increased rapidly over the past few years. As a consequence, real-time systems—computer systems where the correctness of a computation is dependent on both the logical results of the computation and the time at which these results are produced—have become the focus of much study.
