We discuss research issues and models for vulnerabilities and threats in distributed computing systems. We present four diverse approaches to reducing system vulnerabilities and th...
Mobile agent systems have many attractive features including asynchrony, openness, dynamicity and anonymity, which makes them indispensable in designing complex modern application...
Model checking is shown to be an effective tool in validating the behavior of a fault tolerant embedded spacecraft controller. The case study presented here at by judiciously abst...

The paper presents a hierarchical modeling approach of the N version programming in a real – time environment. The model is constructed in three layers. At the first layer we d...
Fault-tolerant mechanisms have been increasingly used to develop safety-critical systems in the past years. Therefore the accurate description of these mechanisms is crucial if we...
