We present the concept of alternative functionality for improving dependability in distributed embedded systems. Alternative functionality is a mechanism that complements traditio...
Abstract. Achieving higher levels of dependability is a goal in any software project, therefore strategies for software reliability improvement are very attractive. This work intro...

— Many tasks examined for robotic application like rescue missions or humanitarian demining require a robotic vehicle to navigate in unstructured natural terrain. This paper intr...
We address the problem of providing transparent, lightweight, fault-tolerance mechanisms for generic peer-to-peer middleware systems. The main idea is to use the peer-to-peer overl...
