We present a framework (Real-Time Calculus) for analysing various system properties pertaining to timing analysis, loads on various components and on-chip buffer memory requiremen...
Abstract. The complexity of distributed algorithms, such as state machine replication, motivates the use of formal methods to assist correctness verification. The design of the for...
This paper presents a simple protocol that provides application processes with an approximate real-time notion. This time notion is very versatile. At one extreme, it behaves at l...
--This paper presents a novel approach to evaluate the response time in networked automation systems (NAS) that use a client/server protocol. The developments introduced are derive...
One relevant aspect in the development of the Semantic Web framework is the achievement of a real inter-agents communication capability at the semantic level. The agents should be ...
