The objective of multi-site scheduling is to support the scheduling activities of a global scheduler and schedulers in distributed production plants in a cooperative way. A global...
Model checking is a powerful and widespread technique for the verification of finite distributed systems. However, the main hindrance for wider application of this technique is the...
In this paper we develop a methodology for treating the problem of scheduling partially-ordered tasks on parallel machines. Our framework is based on the timed automaton model, or...
A number of solutions have been proposed for the problem of mutual exclusion in distributed systems. Some of these approaches have since been extended to a prioritized environment...
