Challenges for Multi-function SoC Scheduling and Assistive Living Services

Tasks on assistive living devices and multi-function SoC (MFSoC) have the requirements to meet certian timing constraint. Examples include the end-to-end throughput constraint on MFSoC and deadline constraint on assistive living devices. However, the workload model on the two application domains are different from conventional real-time workload models. The new workload model, hence, impose new scheduling challenges on real-time computing community. In this short paper, we will discuss the new workload models and the challenging issues on scheduling such tasks.
