Because it takes time and trust to establish agreement, traditional consensus-based architectural styles cannot safely accommodate resources that change faster than it takes to tr...
Modern real-time systems increasingly operate with multiple interactive applications. While these systems often require reliable quality of service (QoS) for the applications, eve...
Real-time control systems are complex to design, and automation support is important. We are interested in systems with multiple tasks, each with multiple modes, implementing a fu...
A temporal constraint management system (TCMS) is a temporal network together with algorithms for managing the constraints in that network over time. This paper presents a practica...
A new class of applications can now be envisaged with the emergence of both mobile ad hoc computing and ubiquitous computing. Applications of such kind are characterised by being ...
