Assigning an application’s fault-tolerance properties (e.g., replication style, checkpointing frequency) statically, and in an arbitrary manner, can lead to the application not ...
We describe an methodology for testing a software system for possible security flaws. Based on the observation that most security flaws are caused by the program’s inappropria...
Fault tolerance is an important property of large-scale multiagent systems as the failure rate grows with both the number of the hosts and deployed agents, and the duration of com...
This paper presents a new conceptual model, the XBWModel. Distributed computing is becoming a cost effective way to implement safety critical control systems. To support the devel...
Previous ultra-dependable real-time computing architectures have been specialised to meet the requirements of a particular application domain. Over the last two years, a consortiu...
