Failure detection is a difficult and often expensive task. The principle of self-healing addresses this cost issue, but poses new research questions. This work focuses on detectin...
This paper addresses the problem of component selection, task assignment and task scheduling for distributed embedded computer systems. Such systems have a large number of constra...
This paper presents a model for concurrent programming, where programs (concurrent program structures) are represented as composition expressions over component programs with suita...
