Formalization is a necessary precondition for the specification of precise and unambiguous use case models, which serve as reference points for the design and implementation of so...
Abstract. We present a method to specify software for a special kind of safetycritical embedded systems, where sensors deliver low-level values that must be abstracted and pre-proc...
Language runtime systems are increasingly being embedded in systems to support runtime extensibility via mobile code. Such systems raise a number of concerns when the code running...
Current implementations of Java make security decisions by searching the runtime call stack. These systems have attractive security properties, but they have been criticized as be...
Component middleware provides dependable and efficient platforms that support key functional, and quality of service (QoS) needs of distributed real-time embedded (DRE) systems. C...
