Abstract. Dependable distributed applications require flexible infrastructure support for controlled redundancy, replication, and recovery of components and services. However, mos...
In a future networked physical world, a myriad of smart sensors and actuators assess and control aspects of their environments and autonomously act in response to it. Examples ran...
One of the challenges in development of embedded systems is to cope with hardware and software components simultaneously. Often is their integration cumbersome due to their incomp...
There is a need for mechanisms for maintaining and restoring software integrity on deployed systems. Dynamic replacement, removal and addition of components in deployed systems is...
Responsive environments are physical surroundings whose components change their behaviour to accommodate the presence of people as well as other components. We describe a means to...
