The paper presents an integrated software fault injection environment (DOCTOR) which is
capable of (1) generating synthetic workloads under which system dependability is …

While industry is making rapid advances in system virtualization, for server consolidation
and for improving system maintenance and management, it has not yet become clear how …

In this paper, we explore performance optimization problems for real-time systems that have
to rely on a fixed energy budget during an operation/mission. We adopt the weakly-hard …

The concept of weakly hard real-time systems can be used to model real-time systems that
may tolerate occasional deadline misses in a bounded and predictable manner. This model …

In a typical cyber-physical system (CPS), the cyber/computation subsystem controls the
physical subsystem, and therefore the computer society has recently paid considerable …

The (m,k)-firm model has recently drawn a lot of attention. It provides a flexible real-time
system with graceful degradation of the quality of service (QoS), thus achieving the fault …

The scale, reliability and cost requirements of enterprise data centers require automation of
center management. Examples include provisioning, scheduling, capacity planning, logging …

For real-time embedded systems, QoS (Quality of Service), fault tolerance, and energy
budget constraint are among the primary design concerns. In this research, we investigate …

Model-Driven Security (MDS) for secure systems development still has limitations to be more
applicable in practice. A recent systematic review of MDS shows that current MDS …

In this paper, we study the problem of optimizing the throughput of streaming applications for
heterogeneous platforms subject to failures. Applications are linear graphs of tasks …
