James Docherty, Alex Yakovlev: Game Theoretic Power Management Techniques for Real-Time Scheduling

This paper summarizes the initial investigation into game theory applications for real time systems. A brief overview of game theory is presented, along with possible uses to manage energy consumed by processes within real-time processing and ensure maximum reliability while managing all available power from a source such as an energy harvesting device. Possibilities of retaining MTTF and MTBF while applying low power techniques such as DVFS are also proposed as investigation items
