Towards adaptive resource reservations for component-based distributed real-time systems

In this paper we present our ongoing work on developing a framework supporting adaptive resource reservations targeting component-based distributed real-time systems. The components may be spread over different resources in a distributed system. The proposed framework utilizes a reservation-based scheduling technique in which the sizes of reservations are adjusted during run-time to deal with dynamic resource demands of the software components. We present our modeling approach, we describe design options made and we present corresponding challenges.
