Requirements to embedded systems increase steadily. In parallel, also the performance of the processors used in these systems is improved leading to multithreaded and/or multicore...
The events occurring in the execution of a distributed or parallel application are related by a partial, rather than a total, order. We have developed prototype software that coll...
Developing computer systems that are both concurrent and evolving is challenging. To guarantee consistent access to resources by concurrent software components, some synchronizatio...
