High-throughput real-time systems require non-standard and costly hardware and software solutions. Modern workstation can represent a credible alternative to develop realtime inte...
When a plan involves hundreds or thousands of events over time it can be di cult or impossible to tell whether those events are unfolding \according to plan" and to assess th...
In an adversarial queueing network, the incoming traffic is decided by an adversary, who operates under a reasonable rate restriction. This model provides a valuable, complementar...
