We present the concept of alternative functionality for improving dependability in distributed embedded systems. Alternative functionality is a mechanism that complements traditio...
In order to achieve fault tolerance, highly reliable system often require the ability to detect errors as soon as they occur and prevent the speared of erroneous information throu...
This paper describes the use of fault tolerance in a multiagent system. Such an approach is based on the modeling of autonomous agents with planning capabilities. These capabiliti...
Distributed storage systems must provide highly available access to data while maintaining high performance and maximum scalability. In addition, reliability in a storage system is...
A good architecture is a necessary condition to guarantee that the expected levels of performance, availability, fault tolerance, and scalability are achieved by the implemented s...
