A critical resource in a distributed real-time system is its shared communication medium. Unrestrained concurrent access to the network can lead to collisions that reduce the syst...
group multicasts provide a nice abstraction for communicating data reliably among group members and have been used for a variety of applications. In this paper we present Corona, ...
Any set of autonomous workstations, however networked (by a LAN, a MAN, or wireless), can be seen as a collection of networked low cost disks. Such a collection can be operated by...
We present a performance-oriented refinement approach that refines a perfectly synchronous communication model onto Network-on-Chip (NoC) communication. We first identify four bas...
Grid computing is a newly developed technology for complex systems with large-scale resource sharing and multi-institutional collaboration. The prominent feature of grid computing...
