Logical properties of iterations of relational structures are studied and these decidability results are applied to the model checking of a powerful extension of pushdown systems....
We propose a new framework for black-box conformance testing of real-time systems, where specifications are modeled as nondeterministic and partially-observable timed automata. We...
This paper studies parallel job scheduling in a distributed system. A simulation model is used to address performance issues associated with scheduling. Five policies are used to ...
Abstract. Complexity in software design refers to the difficulty in understanding and manipulating the set of concepts, models and techniques involved in the design process. Agents...
Model checking is shown to be an effective tool in validating the behavior of a fault tolerant embedded spacecraft controller. The case study presented here at by judiciously abst...
