본 논문은 고정 우선순위를 가지는 주기 태스크와 동적으로 발생하는 비주기 태스크를 스케쥴링하는 방법으로 슬랙 스틸링(slack stealing) 알고리즘을 소개하고 발생되는 문제점으로부터 새로운 알고리즘을 제시한다. 기존의 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘을 RM 스케쥴링에 의해 할당된 주기 태스크의 우선순위가 동적으로 발생하는 비주기 태스크의 수행으로 인한 주기 태스크들간의 긴급함에 적절하게 대응하지 못하고 주기 태스크들이 자신의 제한시간을 넘길 수 있다. 이는 슬랙 스틸링(slack stealing) 알고리즘에서 슬랙 타임을 구하는 함수의 한 요소로서 주기 태스크의 필요 계산시간 값이 긴급하지 않은 상위 우선 순위 태스크의 계산시간 까지 포함하는데 있다. 따라서 제안한 확장된 실시간 스케쥴링 알고리즘은 RM 스케쥴링에 의한 스케쥴링 가능성을 위배하지 않으면서 동적으로 발생하는 비주기적 태스크로부터 긴급도의 변화에 적응할 수 있는 우선 순위 체제의 알고리즘을 제시하고, 제안한 알고리즘이 다른 실시간 알고리즘보다 성능 개선이 있음을 모의 실험을 통하여 증명한다.

In recent years, distributed control systems(DCS) using fieldbus such as CAN have been applied to process systems but it is very difficult to design the DCS while guaranteeing the given end-to-end constraints such as precedence constraints, time constraints, and periods and priorities of tasks and messages. This paper presents a scheduling method to guarantee the given end-to-end constraints considering aperiodic, periodic and non-real-time message and task simultaneously. The presented scheduling method is the integrated one considering both tasks executed in each node and messages transmitted via the network and is designed to be applied to a general DCS that has multiple loops with several types of constraints, where each loop consists of sensor nodes with multiple sensors, actuator nodes with multiple actuators and controller nodes with multiple tasks.

Language is one aspect of cognition, along with attention and concentration, learning and memory, visuospatial abilities, and executive function. The purpose of this study was to determine the effect of language intervention by cognitive approach on language expressive performance in a patient with conduction aphasia. This study used several tasks such as Attention and concentration task, visual memory tasks, memory tasks, categorization, divergent thinking, self-monitoring and evaluate thinking. The effects of treatment were evaluated by periodic probing of both trained and untrained familiar words in three tasks; picture naming, answering to questions and telling stories. The results showed improvements both in trained and untrained words. Therefore, we concluded that expressive language performance of this aphasic patient is amenable to this intervention, and that cognitive therapy approach can be useful.

실시간 시스템에서 주기 태스크의 마감시간을 보장하며 도착 시간을 예측할 수 없는 비주기 태스크를 처리되도록 스케줄링 하는 것은 매우 중요하다. 본 논문에서는 정적 우선순위 스케줄링 방식 중 최적인 RM방식으로 주기 태스크를 스케줄링하고, 비주기 태스크의 발생시 비주기 태스크를 EDF 방식으로 스케줄링하여 오프라인에서 구한 슬랙을 비주기 태스크에 할당한다. 제안한 방식은 비주기 태스크의 마감시한내의 슬랙과 비주기 태스크의 실행 시간을 비교하여 비주기 태스크가 마감시한 내에 실행되지 못하는 경우 주기 태스크와 슬랙을 최적적합으로 교환하는 방식을 사용하여 비주기 태스크의 처리를 가능하게 하였다. 제안된 방식은 경성 비주기 태스크와 연성 비주기 태스크에 적용이 가능하며, 실험 결과 교환 알고리즘을 적용한 스케줄링 방식이 적용하지 않은 스케줄링 방식에 비해 비주기 태스크의 처리율이 높게 나왔다.

경성 실시간 시스템(Hard Real-Time System)어서는 주기 태스크들의 엄격한 마감시간(Deadline) 보장이 시스템의 성능을 좌우한다. 본 논문에서는 CPU의 이용률(Utilization)이 높아 비율단조 정책으로는 마감시간을 보장 할 수 없는 주기 태스크들을 위해 확장된 스케줄 가능성 검사를 통해 수행할 태스크들의 공통 주기(L.C.M : Least Common Multiple)내에서 EDF(Earliest-Deadline First) 정책을 기반으로 마감시간 보장 수행패턴(Feasible Pattern)을 찾고, 이를 참조하여 우선순위를 고려하지 않고 태스크들을 강제 수행할 수 있게 하는 비율단조 기반의 스케쥴링 기법을 제안한다. EDF를 기반으로 생성된 패턴은 EDF 정책의 특성에 따라 CPU의 이용률을 100% 까지 가능하게 하며 패턴을 참조하여 강제 수행함으로써 EDF 정책이 갖는 실행시간 스케쥴링 오버헤드를 없앨 수 있다.

This paper proposes a scheduling scheme that enhances power consumption efficiency of periodic real-time tasks using DVFS and power-shut-down mechanisms while meeting their deadlines on multicore processors. The proposed scheme is suitable for dependent multicore processors in which processing cores have an identical speed at an instant, and resolves the load unbalance of processing cores by exploiting parallel processing because the load unbalance causes inefficient power consumption in previous methods. Also the scheme activates a part of processing cores and turns off the power of unused cores. The number of activated processing cores is determined through mathematical analysis. Evaluation experiments show that the proposed scheme saves up to 77% power consumption of the previous method.

This paper presents a mechanism which supplies tasks with fast turn-around time on real-time multimedia environments. Tasks are classified into periodic and aperiodic tasks according to their executing period, and the types of them are classified into three groups : critical tasks, essential tasks and common tasks by the degree of its urgency. In the case of periodic tasks, we defer the execution of it within the extent to keep the deadline as long as possible and serve the aperiodic tasks, and provide aperiodic tasks with fast turn-around time. Changing the priority of each task is allowed within the same type and it is scheduled by using the dynamic priority. The emergency tasks are executed within deadline in any circumstances, and the least laxity one is served first when many real-time tasks are waiting for execution. The result of simulation shows that the proposed mechanism is better than the EDZL, known as suboptimal in multiprocessor systems, in the point of rum-around time.

In this paper, we propose a power-efficient scheduling scheme for lightly loaded multicore processors which contain more processing cores than running tasks. The proposed scheme activates a portion of available cores and inactivates the other unused cores in order to save power consumption. The tasks are assigned to the activated cores based on a heuristic mechanism for fast task assignment. Each activated core executes its assigned tasks with the optimal clock frequency which minimizes the power consumption of the tasks while meeting their deadlines. Evaluation shows that the proposed scheme saves up to 78% power consumption of the previous method which activates as many processing cores as possible for the execution of the given tasks.

The OPRoS (Open Platform for Robotic Service) framework provides uniform operating environment for service robots. As an OPRoS-based service robot has to support real-time as well as non-real-time applications, application of Windows NT kernel based operating system can be restrictive. On the other hand, various benefits such as rich library and device support and abundant developer pool can be enjoyed when service robots are built on Windows NT. The paper presents a user-mode component scheduler of OPRoS, which can provide near real-time scheduling service on Windows NT based on the restricted real-time features of Windows NT kernel. The component scheduler thread with the highest real-time priority in Windows NT system acquires CPU control. And then the component scheduler suspends and resumes each periodic component executors based on its priority and precedence dependency so that the component executors are scheduled in the preemptive manner. We show experiment analysis on the performance limitations of the proposed scheduling technique. The analysis and experimental results show that the proposed scheduler guarantees highly reliable timing down to the resolution of 10ms.

Many industrial operations require continuous or nearly-continuous operation of machines, which if interrupted can result in significant financial loss. The condition monitoring of these machines has received considerable attention recent years. Rapid developments in semiconductor, computing, and communication with a remote site have led to a new generation of sensor called "smart" sensors which are capable of wireless communication with a remote site. The purpose of this research is the development of smart sensor using which can on-line perform condition monitoring. This system is addressed to detect conditions that may lead to equipment failure when it is running. Moreover it will reduce condition monitoring expense using low cost MEMS accelerometer. This sensor can receive data in real-time or periodic time from MEMS accelerometer. Furthermore, this system is capable for signal preprocessing task (High Pass Filter, Low Pass Filter and Gain Amplifier) and analog to digital converter (A/D) which is controlled by CPU. A/D converter that converts 10bit digital data is used. This sensor communicates with a remote site PC using TCP/IP protocols. Wireless LAN contain IEEE 802.11i-PSK or WPA (PSK, TKIP) encryption. Developed sensor executes performance tests for data acquisition accuracy estimations.
