Fault-tolerant mobile computing systems have different requirements and restrictions, not taken into account by conventional distributed systems. This paper presents a coordinate...
We argue that the key underpinning of the current state-of-the real-time practice — the priority artifact — and that of the current state-of-the real-time art — deadline-bas...
Traditional reliability measures for computer systems can be classi ed into Computer-Centric or Application-Centric categories. The former concentrate on the hardware resources whi...
Energy efficient operations are essential to increase the lifetime of wireless sensor network. A clustering-based protocol is one approach that reduces energy by a data aggregation...
In this paper, we propose a real-time communication scheme that can be used in general point-to-point real-time multicomputer systems with wormhole switching. Real-time communicat...
