The rise of the number and complexity of pervasive systems is a fact. Pervasive systems developers need advanced development methods in order to build better systems in an easy way...
Hardware failures in autonomous and distributed software systems create the need for self-healing activities. This work addresses the problem of redeploying software components af...
Real-time applications typically have to satisfy high dependability requirements and require fault tolerance in both value and time domains. A widely used approach to ensure fault...
We propose a new paradigm for building scalable distributed systems. Our approach does not require dealing with message-passing protocols—a major complication in existing distri...
