Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
Internal clock synchronization has been investigated, or employed, for quite a number of years, under the requirement of good upper bounds for the deviation, or accuracy, between ...
Time redundancy (rollback-recovery) and hardware redundancy are commonly used in real-time systems to achieve fault tolerance. From an energy consumption point of view, time redun...
The paper presents the implementation of a railway control system, as a means of assessing the potential of coordination languages to be used for modelling software architectures f...
The proliferation of cell phones has led to an ever increasing number of inappropriate interruptions. SmartContacts provides a solution to this problem by empowering the caller to...
