Real-time controllers handle safety-critical environments such as power grids in a
continuous way. Controllers are only updated during the same maintenance periods as the …

Abstract Cyber Physical Systems (CPS) are a special type of ubiquitous systems where
control theory, communications and real-time computing are combined in embedded …

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) form an emerging discipline that integrates embedded
computers with the physical processes under control. Typically, Cyber-Physical applications …

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) integrate embedded computers that control physical
processes. Application domains for CPS may be found in intelligent buildings, healthcare …

There is an increasing number of Ambient Intelligence (AmI) systems that are time-sensitive
and resource-aware. From healthcare to building and even home/office automation, it is now …

FTT-CORBA is a middleware architecture aimed at synchronizing the task activations of a
distributed system according to a plan that may be changed at runtime. In this architecture …

Middleware has become a key element in the development of distributed Cyber Physical
Systems (CPS). Such systems often have strict non-functional requirements, and designers …

Cyber-Physical Systems (CPS) are integrations of computation and physical processes. This
kind of systems is being increasingly used in different domains such as healthcare …

The number of smart devices (aka “Endpoints”) is rapidly growing. Smartphones, tablets,
wearables, along with smarter sensors, actuators and appliances are just a couple of …

This paper presents a new service for CORBA applications that orchestrates the timely
execution of the tasks of a distributed real-time system in a flexible way. It follows the …
