: A multi-rate capable IEEE 802.11a/b/g node can utilize different link-layer transmission rates. Interestingly, multi-rate capability is defined by IEEE 802.11 standards only for...
Real-time systems design involves many important choices, including that of the processor. The fastest processors achieve performance by utilizing architectural features that make...
In most operating systems, the handling of interrupts is typically performed within the address space of the kernel. Moreover, interrupt handlers are invoked asynchronously during...
In this work we consider a distributed system formed by a master processor and a collection of n processors (workers) that can execute tasks; worker processors are untrusted and m...
Failure models characterise the expected component failures in fault-tolerant computing. In the context of distributed systems, a failure model usually consists of two parts: a fu...
