The algorithm selects tasks for execution based on their execution requirements. Tasks with largest execution requirements are always scheduled first; however when a task reaches zero laxity it is given the highest priority and executed until completion. The simulation showed that the proposed algorithm misses few deadlines and achieves high schedulability levels compared to currently existing zero laxity based algorithms. © 2015 IEEE. %O cited By 3; Conference of 5th International Conference on IT Convergence and Security, ICITCS 2015 ; Conference Date: 24 August 2015 Through 27 August 2015; Conference Code:118426
