nce of computation has systematically abstracted away the physical world. Embedded software systems, however, engage the physical world. Time, concurrency, liveness, robustness, c...
A major challenge in realizing core-based system chips is the adoption and design-in of adequate test and diagnosis strategies. This tutorial paper discusses the specific challeng...
Software metrics can be used to objectively quantify the quality of software components and systems, alleviating quality and risk concerns and raising assurance in component-based...
We present exact characterizations of structures on which the greedy algorithm produces optimal solutions. Our characterization, which we call matroid embeddings, complete the par...
