Abstract :
This paper considers the problem of scheduling Real Time applications on a general-purpose Operating System. The approach taken is to modify a mainstream system, in order to realize the benefits of Real Time scheduling whilst preserving all existing software. Particular care has been taken to make important servers aware of their clients´ Quality of Service, without major restructuring. We have implemented these ideas in a system called Linux-SRT
