A new class of models, formalisms and mechanisms has recently evolved for describing concurrent and distributed computations based on the concept of “coordination”. The purpos...
Frameworks and libraries that use annotations are becoming popular. However, there is not enough software engineering support for annotation development. In particular, the validat...
We report on a case study in which the Maude model checker has been used to analyze the Suzuki-Kasami distributed mutual exclusion algorithm with respect to the mutual exclusion p...
This paper presents an automatic method to customize embedded application-specific instruction processors (ASIPs) based on compiler analysis. ASIPs, also known as embedded soft c...
We present a probabilistic model, based on Dynamic Decision Networks, to assess user affect from possible causes of emotional arousal. The model relies on the OCC cognitive theory...
