The design and implementation of distributed real-time dependable systems is often dominated by non-functional considerations like timeliness, object placement and fault tolerance...
Despite the widespread recognition that information technology (IT) and business process are tightly connected, existing system design methods provide limited guidance on how to t...
We consider a variety of dynamic, hardware-based methods for exploiting load/store parallelism, including mechanisms that use memory dependence speculation. While previous work ha...
Even though a thorough system specification improves the quality of the design , it is not sufficient to guarantee that a system will satisfy its reliability targets. Within this ...
Since the Diffie-Hellman paper, asymmetric encryption has been a very important topic, and furthermore ever well studied. However, between the efficiency of RSA and the security of...
