The architecture of a software system has a significant impact on its quality of service (QoS) as measured by several performance metrics such as execution time, availability, th...
This paper introduces the notion of a software decelerator, to be used in logic-centric system architectures. Functions are offloaded from logic to a processor, accepting a speed ...

Redundancy can improve the availability of components in service-oriented systems. However, predicting and quantifying the effects of different redundancy strategies can be a comp...
Contemporary embedded systems quite often employ extremely complicated software consisting of a number of interrelated components, and this has made object-oriented design methodo...
As symmetric multiprocessors become commonplace, the interconnection networks and the communication system software in clusters of multiprocessors become critical to achieving high...
