We present the concept of alternative functionality for improving dependability in distributed embedded systems. Alternative functionality is a mechanism that complements traditio...
A total order protocol is a fundamental building block in the construction of distributed fault-tolerant applications. Unfortunately, the implementation of such a primitive can be...
The Vehicle Routing Problem with Time Windows involves finding the lowest-cost set of routes to deliver goods to customers, which have service time windows, using a homogeneous ...
Network coordinates provide a practical and efficient way to estimate latencies among hosts in the network. In this paper, we study the problem of designing and implementing a Net...
In most operating systems, the handling of interrupts is typically performed within the address space of the kernel. Moreover, interrupt handlers are invoked asynchronously during...
