We study the development of distributed agent environments as distributed event-based systems specified in the Ambient Event Calculus (AEC). The AEC is a logic-based formalism th...
Cooperative Information Systems (CIS) often consist of applications that access shared resources such as databases. Since centralized systems may have a great impact on the system...
This paper presents a framework to design real-time event-based applications using Java. The Real-Time Specification for Java (RTSJ) is well designed for hard periodic real-time ...
Sophisticated middlebox services–such as network monitoring and intrusion detection, DDoS mitigation, worm scanning, XML parsing and protocol transformation–are becoming incre...
Control systems running on a computer are subject to timing disturbances coming from implementation constraints. Fortunately closed-loop systems behave robustly w.r.t. modelling e...
