Abstract

Generally, with a limited number of fixed priorities within a network, applications sharing a same priority are scheduled according to First in First out discipline. This policy is called FP/FIFO. However real time applications have deadline requirements which aren¡¯t taken into account with the discipline. That is why we propose to introduce the Earliest Deadline First discipline to schedule applications sharing a same priority. In another hand, we are interested in providing quantitative Quality of Service guarantees to various types of real-time applications. Hard real-time applications have strong deadline requirements whereas soft real-time applications have only soft deadline requirements. A probabilistic approach is used to guarantee probabilistic adapted to applications requirements. The response time probability density function is then computed to obtain the probability that the response time doesn¡¯t exceed a given deadline.
