We present a coordination language and its semantics for specification and implementation of object-oriented realtime systems. Real-time systems operate under real-time constraint...
Dependable systems evolution has been identified by the UK Computing Research Committee (UKCRC) as one of the current grand challenges for computer science. We present work toward...
Abstract. A long-running transaction is an interactive component of a distributed system which must be executed as if it were a single atomic action. In principle, it should not be...
This paper presents scalable algorithms for recovery and page coherency in multicomputer object stores. Recovery and coherency are central to object store engineering and distribu...
