Applications communicating over connectionless networks, such as IP, cannot obtain per-connection Quality of Service (QoS) guarantees. In contrast, the connection-oriented nature ...
e a new operating system abstraction for partitioning systems, allowing multiple applications to run in isolation from each other on the same physical hardware. This isolation prev...
Availability in Process Support Systems (PSS) can be achieved by using standby mechanisms that allow a backup server to take over in case a primary server fails. These mechanisms,...
This paper addresses a purely software-based solution to the multiprocessor cache coherence problem by structuring an operating system to provide for the coherence of its own data...
Modelling architectural information is particularly important because of the acknowledged crucial role of software architecture in raising the level of abstraction during developme...
