We present an approach for adaptive scheduling of soft realtime legacy applications (for which no timing information is exposed to the system). Our strategy is based on the combin...
In this paper, we present a mechanism that allows applications to survive operating system kernel crashes and continue functioning with no application data loss after a system reb...
Combining access control with weakly consistent replication presents a challenge if the resulting system is to support eventual consistency. If authorization policy can be tempora...
