Abstract

This paper presents dynamic QOS control schemes based on real-time threads. A real-time thread is based on an explicit declaration of timing attributes, such as start time, deadline, period, and its deadline handler. Two dynamic QOS control schemes: a self-stabilization scheme and a QOS manager-based scheme are evaluated using a QuickTime movie player running on Real-Time Mach.
