We present the concept of alternative functionality for improving dependability in distributed embedded systems. Alternative functionality is a mechanism that complements traditio...
We consider scheduling real-time tasks in the presence of message loss and Byzantine node failures in unreliable networks. We present scheduling algorithms called RTQG and RTQG-B....

Failure Mode and Effect Analysis (FMEA) is a method for assessing cause-consequence relations between component faults and hazards that may occur during the lifetime of a system. ...
Recent work has focused on increasing availability in the face of Internet path failures. To date, proposed solutions have relied on complex routing and pathmonitoring schemes, tr...
