Incorporation of Security and Fault Tolerance Mechanisms into Real-Time Component-Based Distributed Computing Systems

enforcement units The volume and size of real-time (RT) distributed computing (DC) applications are now growing faster than in the last century. On one hand, industry activities in developing the DC applications that are based on both wired and wireless networks and include some RT computing components, are showing healthy growth. On the other hand, newly emerging large-scale RT DC systems show steady growth in scale and complexity. The mixture of application tasks running on such systems is growing as well as the shared use of computing and communication resources for multiple applications including RT and non-RT applications is. The increase in use of shared resources accompanies with it the needs for effective security enforcement. Mor
