This paper proposes the RAFTING approach (Resourcebased Approach to FeaTure InteractioN) to address the feature interaction problem in the context of dynamically adapted software....
This paper describes an online control framework to design self-managing distributed computing systems that continually optimize their performance in response to changing computin...
Most of current embedded control software (ECSW) development techniques deal only with performance specifications during the early software design phase and delay the modeling and...
The Direct Access File System (DAFS) is a distributed file system built on top of direct-access transports (DAT). Direct-access transports are characterized by using remote direct...

Performance characteristics, such as response time, throughput and scalability, are key quality attributes of distributed applications. Current practice, however, rarely applies s...
This paper analyzes the performability of client-server applications that use a separate fault management architecture for monitoring and controlling of the status of the applicat...
Designs for distributed systems must consider the possibility that failures will arise and must adopt specific failure detection strategies. We describe and analyze a self-regulat...
