Fast networks and low-cost processors are making distributed systems for real-time applications attractive from a simple cost-of-goods perspective. However, the complexity of the communications code ...

If you listen to enough conference talks, vendor pitches, and analyst pronouncements, you can be forgiven for assuming every organization on the planet now can sense and respond, in real time, to ...

We consider that the protection is achieved through a temporal- and space-partitioning scheme similar to Integrated Modular Avionics (IMA). At the processing-level, we have proposed an optimization ...

A distributed system is comprised of multiple computing devices interconnected with one another via a loosely-connected network. Almost all computing systems and applications today are distributed in ...

A real-time system must respect time constraints to ensure that its execution makes functional sense. It must be deterministic, ensuring the execution of system processes a priori. After analyzing the ...

Effective task allocation has become a critical challenge for multi-robot systems operating in dynamic environments like search and rescue. Traditional methods, often based on static data and ...
