Publish/Subscribe (PUB/SUB) systems have attracted much academic and industrial interest
in the last years, with several successful experiences of development and deployment …

The detection of failures is a fundamental issue for fault-tolerance in distributed systems.
Recently, many people have come to realize that failure detection ought to be provided as …

Current systems are very often based on large-scale, unpredictable and unreliable
infrastructures. However, users of these systems increasingly require services with …

In this paper we present GREEN a highly configurable and re-configurable publish-
subscribe middleware to support pervasive computing applications. Such applications must …

Novel ubiquitous computing applications such as intelligent vehicles, smart buildings, and
traffic management require special properties that traditional computing applications do not …

The capability of dynamically adapting to distinct runtime conditions is an important issue
when designing distributed systems where negotiated quality of service (QoS) cannot …

We present an approach for adaptive scheduling of soft real-time legacy applications (for
which no timing information is exposed to the system). Our strategy is based on the …

The problem of replica coordination is fundamental to building Byzantine fault-tolerant (BFT)
distributed systems. Seminal BFT architectures for safety-critical real-time systems from the …

Applications of inter-vehicle and vehicle-to-roadside communication that make use of
vehicular ad hoc networks (VANETs) will often require reliable communication that provides …

With advances in sensor-based computing and mobile communication, people have started
to explore ubiquitous or pervasive computing systems that aim to have computing devices …
