Abstract. Definitions of the concepts derived from the goal concept (including functional and nonfunctional goal, hardgoal, and softgoal) used in requirements engineering are discu...
Abstract. Clocks are a mechanism for providing synchronization barriers in concurrent programming languages. They are usually implemented using primitive communication mechanisms a...
This paper is concerned with coordinated delivery of messages in sensor networks. The notion of multicast is re-examined in light of a new set of requirements that are specific t...
—Many applications require communication services with guaranteed timeliness and fault tolerance at an acceptable level of overhead. We present a scheme for restoring real-time c...
Abstract. In scheduling using constraint programming we usually reason only about possible start times and end times of activities and remove those which are recognized as unfeasib...
