MARC Researcher, Presented the paper at RTAS, CPS-IOT Week 2025

5/16/2025

MARC researcher Anna Friebe presented the paper "Nip it in the Bud: Job Acceptance Multi-Server", which she co-authored with Tommaso Cucinotta (Scuola Superiore Sant'Anna), Filip Marković (University of Southampton), Alessandro Papadopoulos (MARC) and Thomas Nolte (MARC) at the 31st IEEE Real-Time and Embedded Technology and Applications Symposium, which is part of CPS-IoT Week, last week.

The paper presents a new method to run time-varying workload on multiple processors. The approach, called JAMS, guarantees a certain amount of computing capacity to a task, and assigns the task’s work flexibly to processors with available capacity. In an overload situation, work that cannot be completed in time is rejected. Tested on real and simulated data, JAMS keeps tasks running smoothly and on schedule, making it useful for demanding applications like advanced control systems.

RTAS is a top-tier conference with a focus on systems with timing requirements. It is part of the CPS-IoT Week, which is the premier event on Cyber-Physical Systems and the Internet-of-Things. It brings together four top conferences, HSCC, ICCPS, SenSys, and RTAS, multiple workshops, tutorials, and competitions.

Anna Friebe is a researcher at MARC. She recently successfully defended her PhD. Her research focus is on probabilistic methods in timing and schedulability analysis of real-time systems.
