The use of software in safety-critical medical applications permits sophisticated functionality that would otherwise not be achievable. However, it is very difficult to ensure that software in these systems is dependable. In particular all software development techniques have limitations, and none can provide any guarantee of overall software dependability. Given this shortcoming, the approach ...

The present review aims to show the state of the art of oxidation mechanisms occurring especially in white wines by taking into account knowledge from different fields in relation to the subject. It is therefore divided into three main parts. First, the mechanisms of oxidation relevant to white wine are discussed in the light of recent scientific literature. Next, the phenomenon of oxygen solub...

In this paper so-called discrete loops are described which narrow the gap between general loops (e.g. while-or repeat-loops) and for-loops. Although discrete loops can be used for applications that would otherwise require general loops, discrete loops are known to complete in any case. Furthermore it is possible to determine the number of iterations of a discrete loop, while this is trivial to ...

Modern society depends on a range of systems that need to guarantee the safety of their users and the environment. Therefore it is crucial which operating system is used for such safety-critical systems. This thesis examines the potential use of the operating system kernel Linux, and the GNU/Linux operating system for safety-critical systems. To gain confidence that GNU/Linux can be used as a p...

Peer-to-peer applications (P2P) are no longer limited to home users, and start being accepted in academic and corporate environments. While file sharing and instant messaging applications are the most traditional examples, they are no longer the only ones benefiting from the potential advantages of P2P networks. For example, network file storage, data transmission, distributed computing, and co...

Intelligent transport system (ITS) has large potentials on road safety applications as well as nonsafety applications. One of the big challenges for ITS is on the reliable and cost-effective vehicle communications due to the large quantity of vehicles, high mobility, and bursty traffic from the safety and non-safety applications. In this paper, we investigate the use of dedicated shortrange com...

In large numbers of the industrial sectors, wireless networking technologies are acquiring rapid endorsement on account their cost-adequacy, improved unwavering quality, and adaptability. A network can be characterized as a devices, meant hubs. Their essential usefulness is to corporately detect, accumulate, measure, distribute data in general climate. Wireless methods communication without uti...
