Fault tolerance schemes for mobile agents to survive agent server crash failures are complex since developers normally have no control over remote agent servers. Some solutions mo...
Quality and risk concerns currently limit the application of commercial off-the-shelf (COTS) software components to non-critical applications. Software metrics can quantify factor...
This paper presents an analysis of the future of Embedded Linux in the PostPC industry. This analysis is carried out by first examining the current forces at work in the PostPC ma...
Composition of a system is driven by the (a) identification and specification of basic components, and (b) specification of the interactions across the components, i.e., the commu...
SMIL is a markup language which enables us to describe multimedia contents. This paper proposes a design model of SMIL browser functionality for mobile terminals whose resources a...
The processes of accessing a shared communication media have been extensively researched in the dependability and real-time area. For embedded systems, the primary approaches have...
: Structuring real-time concurrent programs in the form of groups of fixed-priority processes is an old art which is appropriate for only a small fraction of modern real-time distr...
This paper presents our experiments for integrating OMG MIOP (Multicast Inter-ORB Protocol) specifications into a CORBA ORB. We proposed an integration model which allows the coex...
