....software meta controller to dynamically reconfigure realtime systems. Compared with feedback control real time scheduling, the software meta control is a higher level control that occurs only when the system mode changes. In the area of multimedia communication, several papers [Meer97] Li98][Abde98] presented feedback control architectures and algorithms for QoS control. These works are targeted at supporting end to end QoS in distributed multimedia communication and they are not scheduling algorithms. Meeting task deadlines is not a focus of these works. The idea and framework of feedback ....

Feedback Control Real-Time Scheduling - Lu (2001)   (3 citations)  (Correct)

....scheduling and estimation of worst case resource requirements can result in an extremely expensive and underutilized system. As a cost effective approach to achieve performance guarantees in unpredictable environments, several adaptive scheduling algorithms have been recently developed (e.g. 5][8][9] 24] 44] 46] 55] While early research on real time scheduling was concerned with guaranteeing complete avoidance of undesirable effects such as overload and deadline misses, adaptive real time systems are designed to handle such effects dynamically. There remain many open research questions ....

In recent years, QoS adaptation architectures and algorithms have been developed to support applications such as communication subsystems [8], multimedia [19] 24] distributed visual tracking [46] and operating systems [55] 61] 63] 69] 78] Some of these techniques [55] 61] 63] include optimization algorithms to optimize the value in QoS adaptation. However, their optimization algorithms assume that the resource requirement of every ....

Numerous QoS architectures were proposed; for a few examples refer to [4, 5, 6, 15, 21, 22]. In an adaptive QoS model, it is generally assumed that the users can tolerate quality fluctuations from switching among multiple service levels.

In [7] admission control and scheduling algorithm are described to provide better service to the premium class in web or multimedia servers.

We propose the design of a Resource Manager which allocates and manages the end host resources among the processes[7].

It is very interesting to verify that a lot of work has been done recently in studying and proposing ways of dealing with QoS adaptation[1, 3, 14, 6, 16, 23]. The point is that many applications are naturally able to provide services with different QoS, and so if there is any possibility of dynamically adapting this QoS to the changing environment, then the application should do that. However, the works we know of do not always follow a metrics that ....
