멀티프로세서가 임베디드 시스템에서 널리 쓰임에 따라 지원되는 전력 최소화 기법을 이용하여 태스크를 수행하기 위해 필요한 에너지의 소모량을 줄여야 할 필요성이 대두된다. 본 논문은 동적 전압 스케일링 및 전력 셧다운을 이용하여 에너지 소모를 최소화 하는 태스크 스케줄링 알고리즘을 멀티프로세서 환경을 위해 제안하였다. 제안된 알고리즘에서는 전력 셧다운시의 에너지 및 타이밍 오버헤드를 고려하여 반복적으로 태스크 할당 및 태스크 순서화를 수행한다. 제안된 반복적인 태스크 스케줄링을 통해 전체 에너지 소모를 줄이는 가장 좋은 해를 얻을 수 있었다. 전체 에너지 소모는 리니어 프로그래밍 모델 및 전력 셧다운의 임계 시간을 고려하여 계산되었다. 실제 어플리케이션으로부터 추출된 표준 태스크 그래프에 기반을 둔 실험 결과를 통해 하드웨어 자원 및 시간제한에 따른 에너지 소모 관계를 분석하였다. 실험 결과를 볼 때 제안된 알고리즘은 기존의 우선권 기반의 태스크 스케줄링에 대해서 의미 있는 성능 향상을 얻을 수 있었다.

Researches about scheduling of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points, not scheduling both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages or being unable to guaranteeing the end-to-end constraints due to omitting precedence relations between sporadic tasks. So this paper proposes a new scheduling method for distributed real-time systems consisting of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages, guaranteeing end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic (RM) scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

The scheduling methods of the distributed real-time systems have been proposed. However, they have some weak points. They did not schedule both sporadic and periodic tasks and messages at the same time or did not consider the end-to-end constraints such as precedence relations between sporadic tasks. This means that system scheduling must guarantee the constraints of practical systems and be applicable to them. This paper proposes a new scheduling method that can be applied to more practical model of distributed real-time systems. System model consists of sporadic and periodic tasks with precedence relations and sporadic and periodic messages and has end-to-end constraints. The proposed method is based on a binary search-based period assignment algorithm, an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm, and three kinds of schedulability analysis, node, network, and end-to-end schedulability analysis. In addition, this paper describes the application model of sporadic tasks with precedence constraints in a distributed real-time system, shows that existing scheduling methods such as Rate Monotonic scheduling are not proper to be applied to the system having sporadic tasks with precedence constraints, and proposes an end-to-end laxity-based priority assignment algorithm.

This paper considers two-sided (left and right side) assembly lines which are often used, especially in assembling large-sized products such as trucks and buses. A large number of exact algorithms and heuristics have been proposed to balance one-sided lines. However, little attention has been paid to balancing two-sided assembly lines. This paper presents an efficient assignment rule for balancing two-sided assembly lines. The rule involves maximizing relatedness and slackness between works. We first investigate the characteristics of two-sided line balancing and devise new measures for the balancing. We in this rule assign workstations a set of tasks rather than an unit task at a time. a priority rule of assigning the sets is proposed. Extensive computational experiments are carried out to make the performance comparison between the proposed rule and existing ones. The computational results show that our rule is promising in solution quality.

This paper addresses the problem of period and priority assignment in networked control systems (NCSs) using a fixed priority scheduler. The problem of assigning periods and priorities to tasks and messages is formulated as an optimization problem to allow for a systematic approach. The temporal characteristics of an NCS should be considered by defining an appropriate performance index (PI) which represents the temporal behavior of the NCS. In this study, the sum of the end-to-end response times required to process all I/Os with precedence relationships is defined as a PI. Constraints are derived from the task and message deadline requirements to guarantee schedulability. Genetic algorithms are used to solve this constrained optimization problem because the optimization formulation is discrete and nonlinear. By considering the effects of communication, an optimum set of periods and priorities can be holistically derived.

In many applications of wireless sensor actor networks (WSANs) that often run in harsh environments, the reduction of completion times of tasks is highly desired. We present a new time-aware, energy-aware, and starvation-free algorithm called Scate for assigning tasks to actors while satisfying the scalability and distribution requirements of WSANs with semi-automated architecture. The proposed algorithm allows concurrent executions of any mix of small and large tasks and yet prevents probable starvation of tasks. To achieve this, it estimates the completion times of tasks on each available actor and then takes the remaining energies and the current workloads of these actors into account during task assignment to actors. The results of our experiments with a prototyped implementation of Scate show longer network lifetime, shorter makespan of resulting schedules, and more balanced loads on actors compared to when one of the three well-known task-scheduling algorithms, namely, the max-min, min-min, and opportunistic load balancing algorithms, is used.

멀티코어 시스템의 효율은 스케줄러가 태스크 할당을 코어들에게 얼마나 효율적으로 분배하느냐에 달려있다. 이기종 멀티코어 플랫폼에서 애플리케이션의 실행시간은 어느 코어에서 실행되느냐에 따라 결정된다. 즉, 태스크 할당의 효율이 멀티 코어 시스템의 성능을 결정하는 중요한 요소 중의 하나이다. 본 연구에서는 프로파일링을 통하여 각 태스크의 실행시간을 분석하고 이를 이용하는 부하 균등화 기법을 제안하고 있다. 프로파일링 결과는 최상의 성능을 제공할 수 있는 태스크 할당을 예측하는 기본적인 정보를 제공한다. 이러한 정보를 이용하여 제안하는 기법을 통해 약 26%의 성능이득을 가질 수 있다.

North Korea continues to upgrade and display its long-range rocket launchers to emphasize its military strength. Recently Republic of Korea kicked off the development of anti-artillery interception system similar to Israel's "Iron Dome", designed to protect against North Korea's arsenal of long-range rockets. The system may not work smoothly without the function assigning interceptors to incoming various-caliber artillery rockets. We view the assignment task as a dynamic weapon target assignment (DWTA) problem. DWTA is a multistage decision process in which decision in a stage affects decision processes and its results in the subsequent stages. We represent the DWTA problem as a Markov decision process (MDP). Distance from Seoul to North Korea's multiple rocket launchers positioned near the border, limits the processing time of the model solver within only a few second. It is impossible to compute the exact optimal solution within the allowed time interval due to the curse of dimensionality inherently in MDP model of practical DWTA problem. We apply two reinforcement-based algorithms to get the approximate solution of the MDP model within the time limit. To check the quality of the approximate solution, we adopt Shoot-Shoot-Look(SSL) policy as a baseline. Simulation results showed that both algorithms provide better solution than the solution from the baseline strategy.

Multi-agent robot system is the system which executes by cooperating with each robots and controlling several robots. Capability and function of each robot must be considered for cooperation behavior. Furthermore, it is necessary to analyze the given environment and to replace complex task with some simple tasks. Analysis of the given environment and role assignment for the given tasks are composed of discret event. In this paper, the hierarchical controller for multi-agent robot system using the petri-net state diagram is proposed. The proposed modeling method is implemented for soccer robot system. The effectiveness of proposed modeling method is shown through experiment.
