Bounding the Worst Case Execution Time (WCET) of programs is essential for real-time systems. To be able to do WCET calculations, the iteration bounds for loops and recursion must...
The paper presents an UML profile which defines a language for specifying, visualizing, analysing and documenting dependability mechanisms. It helps to cope with the complexity of...
Multicasting is an effective method to guarantee scalability of data transfer. Multicast applications range from the relief of Internet hot spots to healthcare alert systems. Much...

The execution time of software for hard real-time systems must be predictable. Further, safe and not overly pessimistic bounds for the worst-case execution time (WCET) must be com...
This paper presents a component model for building distributed applications with fault-tolerance requirements. The AFT-CCM model selects the configuration of replicated services d...
In the Komodo project a real-time Java system based on a multithreaded Java microcontroller has been developed. A main scheduling policy realized by hardware in the microcontroller...
This paper summarizes some of our unclassified work on concepts and techniques for performing automated runtime time-critical resource management (especially scheduling) in large ...
Transparent replication has been viewed as the holy grail of fault-tolerant computing. We discuss issues arising when using atomic broadcast to replicate services that are accesse...
The security features of current middleware platforms, like Enterprise Java Beans and CORBA, are either simple and limited or complex and difficult to use. In both cases are the ...
