Paper Accepted at PDP 2015

Today, we congratulate Hazem Ali for having a paper accepted at PDP 2015. The paper is entitled “Generalized Extraction of Real-Time Parameters for Homogeneous Synchronous Dataflow Graphs” and proposes a heuristic methodology for extracting real-time parameters, such as periods, deadlines and offsets, for applications specified as homogeneous synchronous data-flow (HSDF) graphs. The benefit of the approach is that it enables HSDF applications to be analyzed using traditional real-time techniques and scheduled with common real-time schedulers, such as earliest-deadline first.
