Abstract:
In the past decade, research and system development in energy-efficient
real-time task scheduling has received a lot of attention, due to the
rapid development of various mobile platforms. In this talk, I will
summarize major challenges and some important results in the field. In
particular, I will first present some well-known results in independent
task scheduling and real-time resource synchronization. I will then
summarize some of our findings in scheduling anomaly and approaches in
energy-efficient real-time task scheduling.

Prof. Tei-Wei Kuo received the B.S.E. degree in Computer Science and
Information Engineering from National Taiwan University in Taipei,
Taiwan, in 1986. He received the M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Computer
Sciences from the University of Texas at Austin in 1990 and 1994,
respectively. He is currently a Professor and the Chairman of the
Department of Computer Science and Information Engineering, National
Taiwan University.  Starting from Feb 2006, he also serves as a Deputy
Dean of the College of Electrical Engineering and Computer Science,
National Taiwan University.

Prof. Kuo has served in the editorial board of many journals, including
the Journal of Real-Time Systems (SCI) and IEEE Transactions on
Industrial Informatics. He is also the General Chair of the IEEE
Real-Time Systems Symposium (RTSS) in Barcelona, Spain, in 2008, and the
Program Chair in Tucson, Arizona, USA, in 2007, where RTSS is the
flagship conference in real-time systems. Since 2005, Prof. Kuo has
served as the Steering Committee Chair of the IEEE International
Conference on Embedded and Real-Time Computing Systems and Applications
(RTCSA), the best real-time systems conference in the Asian and Pacific
Region. Prof. Kuo serves as an Executive Committee member of the IEEE
Technical Committee on Real-Time Systems since 2005. He received the Ten
Young Outstanding Persons Award of Taiwan in 2004 and a number of
research awards, including the Distinguished Research Award from the
National Science Council in 2003 and teaching awards from the National
Taiwan University in 2003, 2004, and 2005. His research interests
include embedded systems, real-time task scheduling, real-time operating
systems, flash-memory storage systems, and real-time database systems.
He has over 140 technical papers published or been accepted in
international journals and conferences and more than 10 patents in USA
and Taiwan on the designs of flash-memory storage systems.
