Urban mobility in major metro areas operates at a scale where traditional transportation management approaches begin to fail.

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

An RTOS is a specialized operating system designed to handle time-critical tasks with precision and reliability. Unlike general-purpose operating systems like Windows or macOS, an RTOS is built to ...

Why external consistency is so important for a hard real-time database. Maintaining a transaction timeline. The impact of a transaction-scheduling policy. A real-time database-management system (DMBS) ...

Probabilistic timing analysis represents an emergent paradigm in the evaluation of real-time systems, addressing inherent uncertainties that traditional worst-case execution time (WCET) methods ...

As telecommunication technologies evolve there is an on-going drive for the development of high-performance systems for radio communications. Part of that evolution involves implementing components in ...

In 1962, sci-fi writer Arthur C. Clarke famously said, "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." That year, the Atlas computer—the fastest in the world at the ...

The actual definition of real-time database versus the abused interpretation used by marketers of real fast database systems. The interplay of transient and persistent memory, and hard and soft ...
