The CARMA-NTG protocol is presented and analyzed. CARMA-NTG dynamically divides the channel into cycles of variable length; each cycle consists of a contention period and a group-...
Component-based software development would allow application software be largely constructed, rather than programmed. This approach would dramatically improve the productivity of ...
The explosive growth in the performance of microprocessors and networks has created a new opportunity to reduce the latency of fine-grain communication. Microprocessor clock speed...
As a general framework, UNITY does not offer any specific facility for the design of distributed systems. For such systems, distribution aspects must be represented at a low level,...
