The idle computers on a local area, campus area, or even wide area network represent a significant computational resource--one that is, however, also unreliable, heterogeneous, an...
In this paper, we initiate the study of designing approximation algorithms for FaultTolerant Group-Steiner (FTGS) problems. The motivation is to protect the well-studied group-Ste...
Intrusion-tolerant replication enables the construction of systems that tolerate a finite number of malicious faults. An arbitrary number of faults can be tolerated during system ...
We present a scheme to guarantee that the execution of real-time tasks can tolerate transient and intermittent faults assuming any queue- based scheduling technique. The scheme is...
Distributed systems are becoming a popular way of implementing many embedded computing applications, automotive control being a common and important example. Such embedded systems...
