Towards Reliable Distributed Systems

Abstract

Software and Cloud Services are disrupting one industry after the other. So far, Cyber-Physical System industries have felt this disruption only peripherally but not at their core of real-time and safety-critical functionality. However, many players currently work towards Reliable Distributed Systems (RDS) enabling end-to-end real-time and safety guarantees in networked systems involving (edge) cloud systems. This talk will discuss trends and solution ingredients, demonstrate first implementations and outline research challenges.
