A main idea underlying bounded model checking is to limit the length of the potential counter-examples, and then prove properties for the bounded version of the problem. In softwar...
This paper explores the mathematical and algorithmic properties of two sample-based microtexture models: random phase noise (RPN ) and asymptotic discrete spot noise (ADSN ). Thes...
The initiation of a crack in a sound body is a real issue in the setting of Griffith's theory of brittle fracture. If one uses the concept of critical energy release rate (Gri...
The goal of cache management is to maximize data reuse. Collaborative caching provides an interface for software to communicate access information to hardware. In theory, it can o...
We put forward a general theory of goal-oriented communication, where communication is not an end in itself, but rather a means to achieving some goals of the communicating partie...
