Maintaining mobile agent availability in the presence of agent server crashes is a challenging issue since developers normally have no control over remote agent servers. A popular...
A cluster of PCs can be seen as a collection of networked low cost disks; such a collection can be operated by proper so as to provide the abstraction of a single, larger block de...

In this paper, we investigate an efficient off-line scheduling algorithm in which real-time tasks with precedence constraints are executed in a heterogeneous environment. It provi...
The concept of safety vector can guide efficient fault-tolerant routing on interconnection networks. The safety vector on the hypercube is based on the distance of a pair of nodes...
Periodic and aperiodic tasks co-exist in many realtime systems. The periodic tasks typically arise from sensor data or control loops, while the aperiodic tasks generally arise fro...
