The accelerated digitalisation of society along with technological evolution have extended
the geographical span of cyber-physical systems. Two main threats have made the reliable …

In today's world, everyone wants a good profit with a tiny investment and distributed
computing is a boon for this purpose. Cloud computing, fog computing, and the Internet of …

High availability and reliability are fundamental for distributed control systems in the
automation industry. Redundancy solutions, with duplicated hardware, is the common way …

SWIM is a peer-to-peer group membership protocol, with attractive scaling and robustness
properties. However, our experience supporting an implementation of SWIM shows that a …

Real-time control systems (RTCSs) tolerate delay and crash faults by replicating the
controller. Each replica computes and issues setpoints to actuators over a network that might …

To increase their dependability, distributed control systems (DCSs) need to agree in real
time about which hosts have crashed, ie, they need a real-time membership service. In this …

Consensus is a basic building block in distributed systems for a myriad of related problems
that involve agreement. For asynchronous networks, consensus has been proven …

Networked control systems (NCS) consist of sensors and actuators that are connected to a
controller through a packet-switched network in a feedback loop to control physical systems …

The demand for real-time data storage in distributed control systems (DCSs) is growing. Yet,
providing real-time DCS guarantees is challenging, especially when more and more sensor …

We consider the problem of coordination among replicated SDN controllers, where the
challenge is to ensure a consistent view of the network while reacting to network events in a …
