Abstract

Parametric Scheduling is a scheduling technique used to partially address the inflexibility of static scheduling in real-time systems. Real-Time scheduling confronts two issues not addressed by traditional scheduling models viz. parameter variability and the existence of complex relationships constraining the execution of tasks. Accordingly, modeling becomes crucial in the specification of scheduling problems. In this paper, we study the complexity of parametric scheduling as modeled within the E-T-C scheduling framework [Sub00]. We establish that (a) The parametric schedulability query is in PSPACE for generalized constraints, and (b) Parametric dispatching is not harder than deciding the schedulability query. To the best of our knowledge, our results are the first of their kind for this problem.
