—A contemporary perspective on the tradeoff between transmit antenna diversity and spatial multiplexing is provided. It is argued that, in the context of modern cellular systems ...
We consider scheduling distributed real-time tasks in unreliable (e.g., those with arbitrary node and network failures) and untrustworthy systems (e.g., those with Byzantine node ...
We present fault detectors for transient faults, (i.e. corruptions of the memory of the processors, but not of the code of the processors). We distinguish fault detectors for tasks...
Supporting uninterrupted services for distributed soft real-time applications is hard in resource-constrained and dynamic environments, where processor or process failures and sys...
When creating mission-critical distributed systems using off-the-shelf components, it is important to assess the dependability of not only the hardware, but the software as well. ...
