In order to facilitate incremental modeling and analysis of fault-tolerant embedded systems, we introduce an object analysis pattern, called the detector pattern, that provides a ...
Aspects promote a clear separation of concerns so that tangled and scattered concerns are modularized throughout software development. We propose a framework to trace aspects iden...
Signal Transition Graphs (STGs) are a popular formalism for the specification of asynchronous circuits. A necessary condition for the implementability of an STG is the existence ...
We present an approach to the question of evaluating worm defenses against future, yet unseen and possibly defense-aware worm behavior. Our scheme employs model checking to produc...
This paper proposes a validation approach, based on simulation, which addresses problems related to both state space explosion of formal methods and low coverage of informal metho...
