Abstract
In a distributed environment, tasks often have processing demands at m ultiple different sites. A distributed task is usually divided into se veral subtasks, each to be executed in order at some site. In a real-t ime system, an overall deadline is usually specified by an application designer indicating when a distributed task is to be finished. In thi s paper, we present and analyze techniques for automatically translati ng the overall deadline into deadlines for the individual subtasks.
