Abstract

Data broadcasting makes effective use of low bandwidth and is commonly used in applications involving mobile devices. We consider the case where data must be broadcast in a particular order and within a specified response time. However, communication bottlenecks prohibit the timely serving of all requests; although, missing the deadline does not make the data utility zero. In this work, we consider the problem of real-time data broadcast scheduling in the presence of soft deadlines together with constraints on the order in which data-items should be broadcast to be useful. We explore the method of evolution strategy to solve the problem, keeping in view that the real-time scheduler has to effectively trade-off between its running time and the quality of schedules generated.
