Objective

We deal with the problem of allocating resources to tasks under their various constraints of quality of service (QoS) requirements. Resources can be homogeneous (e.g., processors in multi-processor-based systems) or heterogeneous (e.g., processor, disk, network). This can be applied to distributed embedded, real-time and multimedia systems. Each task has various resource requirements along its each QoS dimension. For example, a video conferencing application can have the following QoS dimensions viz., frame rate, resolution, security etc. Our goal is to derive scalable near-optimal results on resource-allocations of QoS-aware tasks.
