As Grids try to achieve optimal and balanced utilization of unused resources in a distributed system, fast and efficient discovery of resource states is a key requirement. For sm...
Open real-time systems provide for co-hosting hard-, soft- and non-real-time applications. Microkernel-based designs in addition allow for these applications to be mutually protec...
This paper presents how state consistency among distributed control nodes is maintained in the presence of faults. We analyze a fault tolerant semi-synchronous architecture concep...
Critical infrastructures have some of the characteristic properties of complex systems. They exhibit infrequent large failures events. These events, though infrequent, often obey ...

We present a new approach to learning image metrics. The main advantage of our method lies in a formulation that requires only a few pairwise examples. Apparently, based on the li...
