An advanced communication system, the FlexRay system, has been developed for future automotive applications. It consists of time-triggered clusters, such as drive-by-wire in cars,...
Heterogeneity is a challenge to overcome in the design of embedded systems. We presented in the recent past a theory for the composition of heterogeneous components based on tagge...
The nature of embedded systems development places a great deal of importance on meeting strict requirements in areas such as static code size, power consumption, and execution tim...

Current consumer electronics devices do not interoperate and are hard to use. Devices use proprietary, device-specific and inflexible protocols. Resources across device classes, s...
Web services (WS) provide a technology for integrating applications over the Internet. This paper proposes a multi-agent conceptual model of WS and an agent-oriented modelling and...
Replication of objects, processes and components is essential for building reliable distributed systems. However, maintaining replica consistency in the presence of nondeterminism...
