Most researches concerning real-time system scheduling assume scheduling constraint to be precise. However, in the real world, scheduling is a decision making process which involves vague constraints and uncertain data. Fuzzy constraints are particularly well suited for dealing with imprecise data. This paper proposes a fuzzy scheduling approach to real-time system scheduling in which the scheduling parameters are treated as fuzzy variables. A simulation is also performed and the results are compared with both EDF and LLF scheduling algorithms. The latter two algorithms are the most commonly used algorithms for scheduling real-time processes. It is concluded that the proposed fuzzy approach is very promising and it has the potential to be considered for future research.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
