Object orientation and component-based development have both proven useful for the elaboration of open distributed systems. These paradigms are offered by the Creol language. Creo...
We study the problem of achieving reliable communication with quiescent algorithms (i.e., algorithms that eventually stop sending messages) in asynchronous systems with process cra...
In this paper we address the real-time capabilities of P-NET, which is a multi-master fieldbus standard based on a virtual token passing scheme. We show how P-NET's medium ac...
