In CORBA-based applications that depend on object replication for fault tolerance, inconsistencies in the states of the replicas of an object can arise when concurrent threads wit...

We study the stochastic machine replenishment problem, which is a canonical special case of closed multiclass queuing systems in Markov decision theory. The problem models the sche...
Batching jobs in a manufacturing system is a very common policy in most industries. The main reasons for batching are avoidance of set ups and/or facilitation of material handling...
The Synthesis operating system kernel combines several techniques to provide high performa.nce, incl1iding kernel code synthesis, fine-gra.in scheduling. and optimistic sylicllrol...
In this paper, we address the issue of the formal verification of real-time systems in the context of a preemptive scheduling policy. We propose an algorithm which computes the st...
