Replication is a well-know fault-tolerance technique, and several replication strategies exist (e.g. active, passive, and semi-active replication). To be used in hard real-time sy...
Given a set of jobs, each consisting of a number of weighted intervals on the real line, and a number m of machines, we study the problem of selecting a maximum weight subset of th...
We consider a system with two service classes with heterogeneous traffic characteristics and Quality-of-Service requirements. The available bandwidth is shared between the two tra...
A composition arranges available services resulting in a defined flow of executions. Before the composition is carried out, a discovery service identifies candidate services. Th...
