Event-based systems are developed and used as a coordination model to integrate components in loosely coupled systems. Research and product development focused so far on efficienc...
This paper describes two aspects of architecture of componentized systems. First, properties of the basic building blocks (acquisition and presentation components) are discussed a...
We present an approach to the analysis and optimization of heterogeneous distributed embedded systems for hard real-time applications. The systems are heterogeneous not only in te...
Traditional agreement-based Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT) systems process all requests on all replicas to ensure consistency. In addition to the overhead for BFT protocol and sta...
