Service-oriented architecture (SOA) is becoming a major software framework for building complex distributed systems. Reliability of the service-oriented systems heavily depends on...
Chip reliability becomes a great threat to the design of future microelectronic systems with the continuation of the progressive downscaling of CMOS technologies. Hence increasing...
Transforming software requirements into a software design involves the iterative partition of a solution into software components. The process is human-intensive and does not guar...
In this work, using a game-theoretic approach, costsensitive mechanisms that lead to reliable Internet-based computing are designed. In particular, we consider Internet-based mast...
