PLC-Automata are a class of real-time automata suitable to describe the behavior of polling real-time systems. PLC-Automata can be compiled to source code for PLCs, a hardware wide...
The design of secure buffer managers for database systems supporting real-time applications with firm deadlines is studied here. We first identify the design challenges and then p...
We report the results of a survey about the software faults encountered during the testing phases in evolving a large real-time system. The survey was done in two parts: the rst pa...
This report addresses the problem of scheduling for real-time systems that include both hard and soft tasks. In order to capture the relative importance of soft tasks and how the ...
A temporal constraint management system (TCMS) is a temporal network together with algorithms for managing the constraints in that network over time. This paper presents a practica...
