In a large embedded real-time system, priority assignment can greatly affect the timing behavior - which can consequently affect the overall behavior - of the system. Thus, it is crucial for model-based design of a large embedded real-time system to be able to intelligently assign priorities such that tasks can meet their deadlines. In this paper, we propose a priority-refinement method for dependent tasks distributed throughout a heterogeneous multiprocessor environment. In this method, we refine an initial priority assignment iteratively using the simulated annealing technique with tasks' latest completion times (LCT). Our evaluations, based on randomly-generated models, have shown that the refinement method outperforms other priority-assignment schemes and scales well for large, complex, real-time systems. This method has been implemented in the Automatic Integration of Reusable Embedded Software (AIRES) toolkit and has been successfully applied to a vehicle system control application.

It has been an important task of discovering frequent fragments as particular patterns from large sequence databases generated from a variety of applications. In general, the patterns to be discovered may partially and asynchronously exist in sequences, and even contain gaps. In addition, it is necessary to collect the information regarding the locations and frequencies of the patterns. How to enumerate candidate patterns for evaluation without exponentially increasing the computation is another problem. In this paper, the modified periodicity transform is proposed to meet the requirements mentioned above. Also, a distributed computing framework is implemented to perform the mining task more efficiently. Both synthetic and biological sequences are utilized to examine the approach. The experimental results demonstrate the efficiency and effectiveness the system.
