Sensor networks are long-running computer systems with many sensing/compute nodes working to gather information about their environment, process and fuse that information, and in ...
Multi-agent systems are prone to failures typical of any distributed system. Agents and resources may become unavailable due to machine crashes, communication breakdowns, process ...
Abstract— In this work, we demonstrate the power of providing a common set of operating system services to Grid Architectures, including high-performance I/O, communication, reso...
The rapid need for high bandwidth and low latency communication in distributed real-time systems is driving system architects towards high-speed switches developed for high volume...
While software is becoming decomposed in more and more finegrained entities, the interactions amongst those become of major importance. While methodologies for building such compon...
