Resource management is a fundamental concept in operating system design. In recent years it has become fashionable to consider the problem as an aspect of heterogeneous support fo...
Abstract. In this article we elaborate on portability in componentbased operating systems, focusing in the hardware mediator construct proposed by Frhlich in the Application-Orient...
Abstract. We present a model of object-oriented and component-based refinement. For object-orientation, the model is class-based and refinement is about correct changes in the stru...
Abstract. We present a technique for designing reconfiguration controllers in the Fractal component-based framework. We obtain discrete control loops that automatically enforce saf...
Auctions are promising decentralized methods for teams of agents to allocate and re-allocate tasks among themselves in dynamic, partially known and time-constrained domains with p...
