Fast networks and low-cost processors are making distributed systems for real-time applications attractive from a simple cost-of-goods perspective. However, the complexity of the communications code ...

You can find real-time operating systems (RTOS) everywhere. They are as ubiquitous as their more familiar operating-system cousins – Windows, Mac OS and Unix – that control software applications and ...

Many distributed real-time systems must meet strict real-time performance demands. Extremely high-performance middleware has evolved that can handle millions of messages per second with tenths of ...

What is a distributed system? A distributed system is a collection of independent computers that appear to the user as a single coherent system. To accomplish a common objective, the computers in a ...

Basic principles behind distributed systems (collections of independent components that appear to users as a single coherent system) and main paradigms used to organize them. This course satisfies the ...

If you listen to enough conference talks, vendor pitches, and analyst pronouncements, you can be forgiven for assuming every organization on the planet now can sense and respond, in real time, to ...

Imagine a world without a global notion of time. Now try to find out the flight direction of an airplane with the following information: There's an e-mail from Alice that she saw the plane about two ...

We consider that the protection is achieved through a temporal- and space-partitioning scheme similar to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA). At the processing-level, we have proposed an optimization ...
