Multiprocessor Scheduling for Real-Time Systems: Errata

This paper contains a list of reference and bibliography errors found in the monograph that is titled “Multiprocessor Scheduling for Real-Time Systems”, authored by Sanjoy Baruah, Marko Bertogna, and Giorgio Buttazzo, and published by Springer International Publishing in 2015 with DOI 10.1007/978-3-319-08696-5. This paper also proposes the fixes to the errors, which we produced over the course of three working days. In total, we inspected 420 individual non-distinct references found on 129 out of the 214 pages (60%) from Chapter 1 to 23. And, out of the 174 bibliography entries in total, the references to 99 bibliography entries (57%) were fixed. The inspection of the 420 individual non-distinct references were needed because a simple find-and-replace failed to work owing to 33 out of the 99 bibliography entries (33%) being referenced inconsistently. Before applying the proposed fixes, there were 14 orphaned bibliography entries (i.e., entries with no passage referencing them). After applying the proposed fixes, all of them would have parents, while bibliography entry 87 and 88 would be orphaned. Lastly, while we have communicated our findings to the authors of the monograph, the authors have not communicated to us that the fixes that we proposed in this paper are completely correct.
