Adaptive partitioning of real-time tasks on multiple processors
This paper presents a new algorithm for scheduling real-time tasks on multiprocessor/multicore systems. This new algorithm is based on combining EDF scheduling with a migration strategy that moves tasks only when needed. It has been evaluated through an extensive set of simulations that showed good performance when compared with global or partitioned EDF: a worst-case utilisation bound similar to partitioned EDF for hard real-time tasks, and a tardiness bound similar to global EDF for soft real-time tasks. Therefore, the proposed scheduler is effective for dealing with both soft and hard real-time workloads

Adding Robustness in Dynamic Preemptive Scheduling
In this paper we introduce a robust earliest deadline scheduling algorithm for deal ing with hard aperiodic tasks under overloads in a dynamic realtime environment The algorithm synergistically combines many features including dynamic guarantees graceful degradation in overloads deadline tolerance resource reclaiming and dy namic reguarantees A necessary and sucient schedulability test is presented and an ecient On guarantee algorithm is proposed The new algorithm is evaluated via simulation and compared to several baseline algorithms The experimental results show excellent performance of the new algorithm in normal and overload conditions Static realtime systems are designed for worst case situations Assuming that all the assumptions made in the design and analysis are correct we can say that the level of guarantee for these systems is absolute and all tasks will make their deadlines Unfortunately static systems are not always possible becaus
What Do We Know About Contracting Out in the United States? Evidence from Household and Establishment Surveys
A variety of evidence points to significant growth in domestic contracting out over the last two decades, yet the phenomenon is not well documented. In this paper, we pull together data from various sources to shed light on the extent of and trends in domestic outsourcing, the occupations in which it has grown, and the industries engaging in outsourcing for the employment services sector, which has been a particularly important area of domestic outsourcing. In addition, we examine evidence of contracting out of selected occupations to other sectors. We point to many gaps in our knowledge on trends in domestic outsourcing and its implications for employment patterns and to inconsistencies across data sets in the information that is available. We recommend steps to improve data in this area
