There is a growing recognition of the need to apply formal mathematical methods in the design of \high con dence" computing systems. Such systems operate in safety critical co...
This paper studies the problem of balancing the demand for content in a peer-to-peer network across heterogeneous peer nodes that hold replicas of the content. Previous decentraliz...
Real-time systems are often designed using a set of periodic tasks. Task periods are usually set by the system requirements, but deadlines and computation times can be modified in ...
While many block replacement algorithms for buffer caches have been proposed to address the wellknown drawbacks of the LRU algorithm, they are not robust and cannot maintain a cons...
Security is gaining relevance in the development of embedded devices. Toward a secure system at each level of design, this paper addresses security aspects related to Network-on-Ch...
