Time/utility function time constraints (or TUFs)
and utility accrual (UA) scheduling optimality criteria,
constitute, arguably, the most effective and broadest
approach for adaptive, dynamic time-critical resource
management. A TUF, which is a generalization of the
classical deadline constraint, specifies the utility of
completing an application activity as an application-or
situation-specific function of that activity’s completion
time. With TUF time constraints, timeliness optimality
criteria can be specified in terms of accrued
(e.g., summed) activity utilities. This paper overviews
past and recent advances on adaptive resource management
for dynamic time-critical systems using UA
algorithms. Emerging challenges and new research
directions are also identified.
