Fault-tolerant time-triggered communication relies on the synchronization of local clocks. The startup problem is the problem of reaching a sufficient degree of synchronization a...
This work presents a model of a distributed database system which provides the framework to study the performance of timestamp ordering concurrency control. We exhibit an analytic...
Several schemes for checkpointing and rollback recovery have been reported in the literature. In this paper, we analyze some of these schemes under a stochastic model. We have der...
We present a tool for the design and validation of embedded real-time applications. The tool integrates two approaches, the use of the synchronous programming language ESTEREL for...
Abstract. Modern incremental and iterative software engineering processes advocate to build software systems by first creating a highly simpliabstract model of the system which is ...
