Abstract. Is it possible to treat large scale distributed systems as physical systems? The importance of that question stems from the fact that the behavior of many P2P systems is ...
Microkernel based systems tend to depend heavily on IPC. This paper adresses the problem of a system response spanning more than one task in an embedded real-time system. The appr...
—Large-scale agent-based systems are required to self-optimize towards multiple, potentially conflicting, policies of varying spatial and temporal scope. As a result, not all ag...
We consider the problem of statically verifying the conformance of the code of a system to an explicit authorization policy. In a distributed setting, some part of the system may ...
Rearchitecturing large software systems becomes more and more complex after years of development and a growing size of the code base. Nonetheless, a constant adaptation of software...
