Hybrid systems like computer-controlled chemical plants are typical safety critical distributed systems. In present practice, the safety of hybrid systems is guaranteed by hazard ...
This paper deals with the evaluation of acyclic Boolean conjunctive queries in relational databases. By well-known results of Yannakakis [1981], this problem is solvable in polynom...
A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
with this, the thread abstraction was introduced. While threads are handling events, or awaiting specific events, unrelated events can be handled by other threads. Unfortunately, ...
Image-space simplifications have been used to accelerate the calculation of computer graphic images since the dawn of visual simulation. Texture mapping has been used to provide a...
