Abstract. Context-aware systems represent extremely complex and heterogeneous distributed systems, composed of sensors, actuators, application components, and a variety of context ...
This paper presents how state consistency among distributed control nodes is maintained in the presence of faults. We analyze a fault tolerant semi-synchronous architecture concep...
Service oriented architecture (SOA) design principles are increasingly being adopted to develop distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems, such as avionics mission computin...
Formal methods can improve the development of systems with high quality requirements, since they usually o er a precise, nonambiguous speci cation language and allow rigorous veri ...
Long running applications often need to adapt due to changing requirements or changing environment. Typically, such adaptation is performed by dynamically adding or removing compo...
