The architectures of modern automobiles are heterogeneous distributed integrated architectures that integrate multiple heterogeneous processing units and network buses with a central gateway. Modern automotive embedded systems combine the related characteristics of real-time, cyber-physical, mixed-criticality, and heterogeneous distributed systems; moreover, such systems must meet specific func...

Distributed computing is a field of computer science that studies distributed systems. With the increasing computing capacity of computers it is widely used to solve large problems. Monitoring system is one of the key components in distributed computing. Although there have been varieties of monitoring systems developed by different organizations, it is still a great challenge to monitor a hete...

Due to the driving forces of the Internet and network communication technology, the paradigm of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) is shifting [16, 19]. Moreover, with the advances in computer technology and GIS science, distributed GIS become practical and widely acceptable. Traditional GIS plays an extremely valuable role in GIS applications by providing a wide variety of tools to handle ge...

presence of distributed generation (dg) in electric distribution systems provides an attractive new alternative in capacity expansion planning of these systems. in this paper a new model is developed for solving simultaneous placement of hv/mv substations and dg units as a static planning tool. this model aims to minimize fixed and variable costs of planning. constraints related to dgs, substat...

Intrusion Tolerant systems provide high-integrity and high-availability services to their clients in the face of successful attacks from an adversary. The Intrusion Tolerant Distributed Object Systems (ITDOS) research project is developing an architecture for a heterogeneous intrusion tolerant distributed object system. ITDOS integrates a Byzantine Fault Tolerant multicast protocol into an open...

The explosive growth of telecommunication networks is presenting distributed computing with new challenges. Distributed computing in-the-small as represented by LANs and small configurations of trusted machines cooperating towards a common goal have yielded to massively distributed computing systems where millions of untrusted computers running heterogeneous operating systems on top of varying ...

During the last few years, the concepts of cluster computing and heterogeneous networked systems have received increasing interest. The popularity of using Java for developing parallel and distributed applications that run on heterogeneous distributed systems has also grown rapidly. This paper is a survey of the current projects in parallel and distributed Java. These projects’ main common obje...
