This paper investigates how formal techniques can be used for the analysis and verification of hybrid systems [1,5,7,16] -- systems involving both discrete and continuous behavior....
We present a deadlock avoidance algorithm for distributed systems that guarantees liveness. Deadlock avoidance in distributed systems is a hard problem and general solutions are c...
Abstract. High speed networks are now providing incredible performances. Software evolution is slow and the old protocol stacks are no longer adequate for these kind of communicati...
All but the most briefly used systems must evolve as their mission and roles change over time. Evolution in the context of large distributed systems is extraordinarily complex bec...
We present a novel Delay-Energy Aware Routing Protocol (DEAP) for for heterogeneous sensor and actor networks. DEAP enable a wide range of tradoffs between delay and energy consum...
