ARTEWG Scheduling Survey

[brucej@SSD.HARRIS.COM (Bruce Jones)]

The ACM's SigAda Ada Runtime Environments Working Group (ARTEWG)
is studying the problems of Ada task scheduling in real-time
applications.

We are interested in the requirements of real-time systems,  and in
the scheduling approaches and techniques used to meet those
requirements.  We are especially interested in scheduling techniques
beyond Ada's standard priority-based aperiodic preemptive scheduling,
such as the use of cyclic executives,  the Rate Monotonic Scheduling
algorithm,  and so on.

replies to this article will also be collected,  although email is 
preferred to reduce net traffic.  Thank you!
