We study the tolerance of data structures to memory faults. We observe that many pointerbased data structures (e.g., linked lists, trees, etc.) are highly nonresilient to faults. ...
We study properties of asynchronous communication independently of any concrete concurrent process paradigm. We give a general-purpose, mathematically rigorous definition of sever...
Dynamic communication systems (DCS) are complex because of their unboundedness in several dimensions. They have an unbounded and changing number of objects, a dynamically changing...
The COL institution (constructor-based observational logic) has been introduced as a formal framework to specify both generationand observation-oriented properties of software syst...
Abstract. We present here a formal foundation for an iterative and incremental approach to constructing and evaluating preference queries. Our main focus is on query modification: ...
