Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
A key challenge for distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) middleware is maintaining both system reliability and desired real-time performance in unpredictable environments wher...
Methods for automatically managing the performance of computing services must estimate a performance model of that service. This paper explores properties that are necessary for p...
Embedded systems serve an emerging and diverse set of applications. As a result, more computational and storage capabilities are added to accommodate ever more demanding applicati...
In this work we present a calibration-free system for locating wireless local area network devices, based on the radio frequency characteristics of such networks. Calibration proc...
