In this paper we tackle the problem of scheduling a periodic real-time system on identical multiprocessor platforms, moreover the tasks considered may fail with a given probabilit...
In this paper, we describe an e cient software-only Distributed Shared Memory (DSM) consistency protocol for an unconventional but important application domain - object transactio...
Using a cluster of commodity Alpha processors we compare two software platforms based on Linux and Windows NT and intended to support intensive scientic computations. Networking a...
New heterogeneous multiprocessor platforms are emerging that are typically composed of loosely coupled components that exchange data using programmable interconnections. The compon...
The paper presents a fail-safe mobility management and a collision prevention platform for a group of asynchronous cooperative mobile robots. The fail-safe platform consists of a ...
