The field of multi-agent systems is an active area of research. One of the possible applications of a multi-agent system is the use of distributed techniques for problem solving. ...
We investigate operating system noise, which we identify as one of the main reasons for a lack of synchronicity in parallel applications. Using a microbenchmark, we measure the no...

In this paper, we propose a modified parallel virtual file system that provides snapshot functionality. Because typical file systems are exposed to various failures, taking a s...
This paper discusses the adaptation of the PVS theorem prover for performing analysis of real-time systems written in the ASTRAL formal specification language. A number of issues w...
We propose a periodic diagnostic algorithm based on the testing model of computation for real-time systems. The diagnostic task runs on every processor of the system. When the task...
