Hi Kun: Here QoS seems to be a real-time computation constraint, right? Kepler currently has no provisions to deal with such RT constraints.
On the other hand, you might find some of the work on the underlying Ptolemy system of interest. Googling Ptolemy + realtime will find you many works by the Ptolemy folks (mainly on design of RT system I suppose): http://www.mail-archive.com/ptolemy-hackers at bennett.eecs.berkeley.edu/msg00355.html http://ptolemy.eecs.berkeley.edu/~johnr/papers/thesis.html Bertram -- Bertram Ludaescher, Assoc.
