Proceedings of the Eighth IEEE International Workshop on Object-Oriented Real-Time Dependable Systems: Words 2003 Guadalajara, Mexico 15-17 January 2003

Overview

Forty-four papers from the January 2003 workshop describe recent research on fault tolerant systems, enhanced object models, mobile computing, timing and execution analysis, configurable embedded system support, multicast and group communication, middleware, and data dissemination. Case studies share experiences with compliant control and software agents for internet robotics and using coordinated atomic actions for building complex web applications. Other topics include algorithms for dependable hard real-time systems, a mirror hopping approach for selective denial of service prevention, an infrastructure for virtual enterprises in large-scale open systems, and a QoS modeling language for high quality systems.
