Real-Time (RT) systems exhibit specific characteristics that make them particularly sensitive to architectural decissions. Design patterns help integrating the desired timing behav...
Non-functional specifications of software components are considered an important asset in constructing dependable systems, since they enable early Quality of Service (QoS) evaluati...
For `mixed-criticality' systems that have both critical and non-critical functions, the greatest leverage on dependability may be at the design level. By designing so that ea...
