We study the notion of class refinement in a concurrent object-oriented setting. Our model is based on a combination of action systems and classes. An action system describes the b...
Abstract--Model checkers for concurrent probabilistic systems have become very popular within the last decade. The study of long-run average behavior has however received only scan...
Parallel architectures are the way of the future, but are notoriously difficult to program. In addition to the low-level constructs they often present (e.g., locks, DMA, and non-...
Modularization and abstraction are the keys to practical verification and analysis of large and complex systems. We present in an incremental methodology for the automatic analysi...
Data replication can help database systems meet the stringent temporal constraints of current time-critical applications, especially Internet-based services. A prerequisite, howev...
