Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: With its tradition of more than three decades, the IFAC/IFIP Workshop on Real Time Programming (WRTP) has become an excellent forum for exchanging information on recent technological advances and practices in real time computing, a field that is becoming an essential enabling discipline of both control engineering, and computer science and engineering. As there is an accelerated growth of demands for the functionality and dependability of real time systems, our intellectual and engineering abilities are being challenged to come up with practical solutions to the problems faced in the design and development of complex real time systems. The Workshop on Real Time Programming provides an opportunity to assess the state of the art, to present new results, and to discuss possible lines of future developments. Primarily, it focuses on software development for real time systems and real time operating systems. This 1998 Workshop covered the latest research and developments in real time communication and formal specification, operating systems and performance analysis, scheduling, use of neural networks in real time systems, embedded systems, and programming methodologies. Contributions came from Europe, North America, Australia, and the Far East. In addition to these high quality technical papers, the programme also featured three world-renowned keynote speakers.
Download or read book Software Engineering ESEC FSE 99 written by Oskar Nierstrasz and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1999-08-30 with total page 542 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: For the second time, the European Software Engineering Conference is being held jointly with the ACM SIGSOFT Symposium on the Foundations of Software Engine- ing (FSE). Although the two conferences have different origins and traditions, there is a significant overlap in intent and subject matter. Holding the conferences jointly when they are held in Europe helps to make these thematic links more explicit, and enco- ages researchers and practitioners to attend and submit papers to both events. The ESEC proceedings have traditionally been published by Springer-Verlag, as they are again this year, but by special arrangement, the proceedings will be distributed to members of ACM SIGSOFT, as is usually the case for FSE. ESEC/FSE is being held as a single event, rather than as a pair of collocated events. Submitted papers were therefore evaluated by a single program committee. ESEC/FSE represents a broad range of software engineering topics in (mainly) two continents, and consequently the program committee members were selected to represent a spectrum of both traditional and emerging software engineering topics. A total of 141 papers were submitted from around the globe. Of these, nearly half were classified as research - pers,aquarterasexperiencepapers,andtherestasbothresearchandexperiencepapers. Twenty-nine papers from five continents were selected for presentation and inclusion in the proceedings. Due to the large number of industrial experience reports submitted, we have also introduced this year two sessions on short case study presentations.
Download or read book Distributed Computer Control Systems 1998 DCCS 98 written by International Federation of Automatic Control and published by Pergamon. This book was released on 1999 with total page 182 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Computer control systems are increasingly required to be highly dependable and to have deterministic timing properties. Distributed architectures have the potential to meet this challenge. The advantages of distributed computer control systems include the possibility of composing large systems out of pre-tested components with small integration effort, their well-defined fault containment properties and their capacity to make effective use of mass-produced silicon chips. The IFAC Workshop series on Distributed Computer Control Systems (DCCS) highlights and traces the growth of key concepts in this field at their various stages of development. Theoretical and practice-oriented viewpoints receive equal emphasis and there is a creative blending of the disciplines of computer science and control engineering. The 1998 DCCS Workshop was notable for the attention given to true real-time communication networks and protocols. The complexity of the trade-off between services, dependability mechanisms and system-level properties was highlighted, and rigorous modelling and analysis methodologies were discussed. Event-triggered and time-triggered protocols were contrasted. Models for analysing and predicting response times in distributed systems and for predicting the effect of response-time jitter on the performance of feedback control loops were presented. The application of formal methods to the specification and development of safety-critical control software also received much attention. Distributed object methodologies and object request brokers were also highlighted as being promising approaches for the programming of large-scale, heterogeneous distributed systems. Applications reported included control systems for traffic lights, jet engines, automobiles, fully-automatic trains and flexible manufacturing systems.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This Proceedings contains the papers presented at the IFAC Workshop on Real-Time Programming held in Spain. During these last twelve years, the Workshop on Real-Time Programming (WRTP) has developed as an excellent forum for presenting the most relevant advances in the field of real-time computing and exchanging information and experiences among the real-time community. Several of the most relevant people of this community have participated in the reviewing process that plays, every time, a more important role. This year, 48 papers from 16 different countries have been submitted to the Workshop. After the review process, 31 of them have been selected for presentation including 2 industrial papers. They cover topics of formal methods, scheduling, distributed systems, embedded systems, design techniques, applications, etc. Their discussion proved to be interesting and productive, and we are sure that it helped to throw light on some of the aspects of Real-Time Programming. WRTP 2000 was organised in co-operation with another event related to the real-time field: the Workshop on Algorithms and Architecture for Real-Time Control (AARTC). Both Workshops were scheduled with a common day of joint activities. This experience increased the level of cooperation and information exchanging between this two research communities which have several aspects in common.
Download or read book Real Time Database Systems written by Kam-Yiu Lam and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2006-04-18 with total page 289 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In recent years, tremendous research has been devoted to the design of database systems for real-time applications, called real-time database systems (RTDBS), where transactions are associated with deadlines on their completion times, and some of the data objects in the database are associated with temporal constraints on their validity. Examples of important applications of RTDBS include stock trading systems, navigation systems and computer integrated manufacturing. Different transaction scheduling algorithms and concurrency control protocols have been proposed to satisfy transaction timing data temporal constraints. Other design issues important to the performance of a RTDBS are buffer management, index accesses and I/O scheduling. Real-Time Database Systems: Architecture and Techniques summarizes important research results in this area, and serves as an excellent reference for practitioners, researchers and educators of real-time systems and database systems.

Book excerpt: In 1999 the IFAC/IFIP Workshop on Real Time Programming (WRTP) joined forces with the Workshop on Active and Real-Time Database Systems (ARTDB). Both series of workshops provide an excellent forum for exchanging information on recent scientific and technological advances and practices in real time computing, a field that is becoming an essential enabling discipline of both control engineering and computer science and engineering. The annual Workshop on Real Time Programming and the bi-annual Workshop on Active and Real-time Databases Systems are intended as meetings of relatively small numbers of experts in their fields taking place as truly international events. The 1999 Workshop maintained the outstanding quality of both series, providing an opportunity to assess the state-of-the-art, to present new results, and to discuss possible lines of future developments. Primarily, it focused on software development for real time systems, real time operating systems and active and real time database systems. In particular, the technical programme of the Workshop covered latest research and developments in requirements engineering, software engineering, active and real time database systems, communication and clock synchronisation, embedded systems, formal methods, operating systems and scheduling. Out of 58 submissions from 19 countries, the International Programme Committee selected 26 regular papers and 8 reserve papers for presentation at the Workshop. Contributions come from Europe, North America, Australia, and the Far East. In addition to these, the programme also featured two world renowned keynote speakers, and a discussion panel about the state-of-the-art in the field of active real time database systems.

Download or read book Operational Semantics for Timed Systems written by Heinrich Rust and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-04-04 with total page 221 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This monograph is dedicated to a novel approach for uniform modeling of timed and hybrid systems. The author introduces a time model that allows for both the description of discrete time steps and continuous processes with a discrete time model with infinitesimal step widths. The underlying mathematical structure of this time model is based on the concepts of non-standard analysis. The discrete modeling, i.e., the description of sequential discrete algorithms at different abstraction levels, is done using the abstract state machines formalism. The presentation is well balanced between theoretical elaboration and critical discussion of the applicability of the theoretical results by means of appropriate case studies. The new temporal semantics proposed helps theoreticians as well as practitioners in gaining a better understanding of time models and in building better notations, models, and tools for the formal treatment of systems where time matters.

This book was released on 2003-06-29 with total page 641 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: FME 2001 is the tenth in a series of meetings organized every eighteen months by Formal Methods Europe (FME), an independent association whose aim is to stimulate the use of, and research on, formal methods for software development. It follows four VDM Europe Symposia, four other Formal Methods Europe S- posia, and the 1999 World Congress on Formal Methods in the Development of Computing Systems. These meetings have been notably successful in bringing - gether a community of users, researchers, and developers of precise mathematical methods for software development. FME 2001 took place in Berlin, Germany and was organized by the C- puter Science Department of the Humboldt-Universit ̈at zu Berlin. The theme of the symposium was Formal Methods for Increasing Software Productivity. This theme recognizes that formal methods have the potential to do more for industrial software development than enhance software quality { they can also increase productivity at many di erent points in the software life-cycle. The importance of the theme is borne out by the many contributed papers showing how formal methods can make software development more e cient. There is an emphasis on tools that nd errors automatically, or with relatively little human e ort. There is also an emphasis on the use of formal methods to assist with critical, labor-intensive tasks such as program design and test-case generation.
