Abstract. In a trace-based world, the modular speci cation, veri cation, and control of live systems require each module to be receptive that is, each module must be able to meet i...
ectly-synchronized round-based model provides the powerful abstraction of op failures with atomic and synchronous message delivery. This abstraction makes distributed programming ...
In this work, we address Byzantine agreement in a message passing system with homonyms, i.e. a system with a number l of authenticated identities that is independent of the total ...
Virtualization provides a vehicle to manage the available resources and enhance their utilization in network computing. System dynamics requires virtual machines be distributed an...
We present a model, task automata, for real time systems with non-uniformly recurring computation tasks. It is an extended version of timed automata with asynchronous processes th...
