Abstract. It is customary to write performance-critical parts of arithmetic functions in assembly: this enables finely-tuned algorithms that use specialized processor instructions....
We designed and implemented a new programming language called Hierarchical Timing Language (HTL) for hard realtime systems. Critical timing constraints are specified within the la...

Abstract: The use of meta-level architectures for the implementation of faulttolerant systems is today very appealing. Nevertheless, all existing fault-tolerant systems based on th...
Abstract. A major challenge of Ambient Intelligence lies in building middleware that can ease service implementation through allowing the application developer to emphasize only th...
This paper presents kernel plugins, a framework for dynamic kernel specialization inspired by ideas borrowed from virtualization research. Plugins can be created and updated inexp...
