As the desire for business intelligence capabilities for e-business processes expands, existing workflow management systems and decision support systems are not able to provide co...
This paper aims at demonstrating the benefits and importance of the service concept in the model-driven design of distributed applications. A service defines the observable behavi...
Distributed System design is a highly complicated and non-trivial task. The problem is characterised by the need to design multi-threaded, multi-processor, and multimedia systems....
Distributed systems are inherently complex, and therefore difficult to design and develop. Experience shows that new technologies—such as components, aspects, and application f...
The Meta-Object Facility (MOF) provides a standardised framework for object-oriented models. An instance of a MOF model contains objects and links whose interfaces are entirely de...
1 : The ongoing revision of the POSIX.13 standard —real-time profiles for portable operating system interfaces— proposes adding new services to the Minimum RealTime System Prof...
As MultiProcessor System-on-a-Chip (MPSoC) designs become more common, hardware/software codesign engineers face new challenges involving operating system integration. To speed up...
: Critical industrial applications or fault tolerant applications need for operating systems (OS) which guarantee a correct and safe behaviour despite the appearance of errors. In ...
As embedded systems grow in size and complexity, an operating system has become essential to simplify the design of system software, for which more accurate analysis of its impact...
Dedicated operating systems for embedded systems are fast being phased out due to their use of manual optimization, which provides high performance and small footprint, but also r...
