Abstract
In this talk we will discuss three major results of the real-time QoS Management: (a) GRACE-OS, the power-efficient dynamic software real-time CPU scheduling framework to discuss the CPU scheduling for wireless devices, (b) iDSRT, the integrated real-time scheduling architecture for critical infrastructure data delivery over wireless local area networks to address the integrated scheduling of different resources, and (c) middleware-based delay control in 802.11 wireless networks to address the adaptive control for guarantees adjustment and differentiation. Each of the results will be validated via real experimentations and/or simulations.
