Developers of distributed systems routinely construct discrete-event simulations to help understand and evaluate the behavior of inter-component protocols. Simulations are abstrac...

We propose a framework to translate certain subclasses of differential equation systems into distributed protocols that are practical. The synthesized protocols are state machine...
ÐReal-time middleware services must guarantee predictable performance under specified load and failure conditions, and ensure graceful degradation when these conditions are violat...
Large classes of autonomic (self-managing, selfhealing) systems can be created by logically integrating simpler autonomic systems. The configuration method is widely used for such...

Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
