: This paper introduces model checking, originally conceived for checking finite state systems. It surveys its evolution to encompass finitely checkable properties of systems wit...
Many safety-critical software applications are hard real-time systems. They have stringent timing requirements that have to be met. We present a description of timing behaviour tha...
Most experiments with participative design are with small scale, stand alone and not very strategic applications of ICT in organizations. However, modern ICT applications are incr...
—Computer systems often reach a point at which the relative cost to increase some tunable parameter is no longer worth the corresponding performance benefit. These “knees” t...

One central issue in system structuring and quality prediction is the interdependencies of system modules. This paper proposes a novel technique for determining the operational co...
