Within a large, object-oriented software system it is common to partition the classes into a set of packages, which implicitly serve as a set of coarsely-grained logical design un...
Abstract. Asynchronous communications are prominent in distributed and mobile systems. Often consystems consider an abstract point of view with synchronous communications. However ...
Fast and accurate fault detection is becoming an essential component of management software for mission critical systems. A good fault detector makes possible to initiate repair a...
In most of the existing approaches to the design of multiagent systems, there is no clear way in which to relate organisational and normative structures to the model of the enviro...
This paper describes a framework for achieving node-level fault tolerance (NLFT) in distributed realtime systems. The objective of NLFT is to mask errors at the node level in orde...
