We describe a real-time, component-based system for an inspection application. We chose the inspection application and the accompanying task (or scenario) so that we might fully e...
Wide-area distributed applications are frequently limited by the performance of Internet data transfer. We argue that the principle cause of this effect is the poor interaction be...
The virtual synchrony model for group communication has proven to be a powerful paradigm for building distributed applications. Implementationsof virtual synchrony usually require...
The tradeoffs between consistency, performance, and availability are well understood. Traditionally, however, designers of replicated systems have been forced to choose from eithe...
Modern embedded devices (e.g., PDAs, mobile phones) are now incorporating Java as a very popular implementation language in their designs. These new embedded systems include multi...
