This paper presents a simple protocol that provides application processes with an approximate real-time notion. This time notion is very versatile. At one extreme, it behaves at l...
Abstract— Component-based applications require good middleware support. In particular, business logic should be separated from management code for guaranteeing nonfunctional prop...
This paper describes a stochastic analysis method for general periodic real-time systems. The proposed method accurately computes the response time distribution of each task in th...
Standards for distribution middleware sometimes impose restrictions and often allow the implementations to decide on aspects that are fundamental to the correct and efficient behav...
Unique challenges are present when one tries to build distributed real-time applications using standard o -the-shelf systems which are in common use but are not necessarily design...
