Standard approaches to evaluating and comparing information retrieval systems compute simple averages of performance statistics across individual topics to measure the overall sys...
Large and complex computer based systems are the result of an evolution process which may take many years. Heterogeneity is an important characteristic of such systems: During the...
This paper discusses why the extensive scientific results on predicting embedded systems temporal behavior never, or very seldom, reaches the industrial community. We also point ou...
Most Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition (SCADA) systems have been in operation for decades and they in general have 24x7 availability requirement, hence upgrading or adding ...
synchronisation also play a fundamental role in overall system robustness. ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) and ElectroMagnetic Interference (EMI) issues also have to be conside...
