Many interesting applications using mobile ad-hoc networks are possible if quality-of-service (QoS) can be effectively supported. Towards that end, this paper proposes a method ba...
To communicate between heterogeneous computer systems, mechanisms for data conversion are necessary. In this paper we present a portable, asymmetric data conversion method that is...

UML through its profiling mechanism is well adapted for the modeling of real-time software requirements and designs. It is becoming the de facto standard. On the other hand, seve...
Convenience, reliability, and effectiveness of automatic memory management have long been established in modern systems and programming languages such as Java. The timeliness req...
The Software Communications Architecture (SCA), which has been adopted as an SDR (Software Defined Radio) Forum standard, provides a framework that successfully exploits common de...

The increasing complexity of mobile phones directly affects their reliability, while the user tolerance for failures becomes to decrease, especially when the phone is used for bus...
Service overlays that support distributed stream processing applications are increasingly being deployed in wide-area environments. The inherent heterogeneous, dynamic and large-s...
We consider empirical evaluation of the availability of the deployed software. Evaluation of real systems is more realistic, more accurate, and provides higher level of confidenc...
Inspection is considered a powerful method to check software documents for defects. Many published work shows that inspections in requirements specification phase are particularly...
