We consider cluster systems with multiple nodes where each server is prone to run tasks at a degraded level of service due to some software or hardware fault. The cluster serves t...
We present a tool-supported approach to the validation of system-level timing properties in formal models of distributed real-time embedded systems. Our aim is to provide system a...

Considering the solution of dynamic access problems in a user hierarchy, a novel scheme based on one-way hash function is proposed to manage the cryptographic keys in the paper. T...
In this paper we present a method formodeling asynchronous digital circuits by timed automata. The constructed timed automata serve as \mechanical" and veri able objects for a...
