ABSTRACT:
One embodiment includes a method for operating a terminal having at least one resource. The terminal is configured to execute at least one application in real-time. The execution of the application requires execution of at least two tasks. The method comprises selecting operating points for each of the tasks from a predetermined set without knowing all implementation details. The method further comprises determining at least one implementation parameter for the selected quality-resource utilization operating point, wherein the determining is performed for each of the tasks, and wherein the determined implementation parameter is different than the quality and resource utilization, and executing the tasks with their determined implementation parameter.
