This paper presents a method to analyze the timing behavior of an event-based real-time protocol composition framework. The framework, called RT-Appia, allows the development and ...
The Worst-Case Execution-Time Analysis (WCET Analysis) of program code that is to be executed on modern processors is a highly complex task. First, it involves path analysis, to i...
This paper shows how role-based access control (RBAC) models can be implemented in distributed object-based systems that follow OMG/CORBA standards. We introduce a novel approach ...
Feature interactions (FIs, in short) occur when features of different communication services interfere with each other. The FI filtering is a pre-processing before the FI detecti...
Developers of mission-critical distributed real-time and embedded (DRE) systems face a fundamental tension between (1) the performance gains achievable with hand-crafted optimizat...

The design and implementation of distributed real-time dependable systems is often dominated by non-functional considerations like timeliness, object placement and fault tolerance...
: The monolithic and inflexible nature of current middleware has made it difficult to deal with emerging technologies such as multimedia. Since these applications have timeliness c...
Commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) middleware increasingly offers not only functional support for standard interfaces, but also the ability to optimize their resource consumption pat...
The majority of today’s Internet-based services are generally not concerned about the level of Quality of Service (QoS) presented to their users. For many such services, however...
Rather recently object-oriented modeling languages, tools, and methods attract the interest of embedded (realtime) system developers. This is especially true if embedded (real-tim...
