Schedulability analysis of fixed priority preemptive scheduled systems can be performed by calculating the worst-case response-time of the involved processes. The system is deemed...
The composite signal flow model of computation targets systems with significant control and data processing parts. It builds on the data flow and synchronous data flow models ...
Petri Nets are a formal tool for studying systems that are concurrent, asynchronous, distributed, parallel, nondeterministic, and/or stochastic. They were used in a number of real-...
The pressures which act on a software system over its life from inception to retirement are many and varied. It is an important goal in considering software evolvability to unders...
Abstract: In order to achieve efficient execution plans for queries comprising userdefined data types and predicates, the database system has to be provided with appropriate index ...
