Model checking by exhaustive state space enumeration is one of the most developed analysis methods for distributed event systems. Its main problem—the size of the state spaces—...
With aggressive gate oxide scaling, latent defects in the gate oxide manifest as traps that, in time, lead to gate oxide breakdown. Progressive gate oxide breakdown, also referred...
Formal analysis of software is a powerful analysis tool, but can be too costly. Random search of formal models can reduce that cost, but is theoretically incomplete. However, rand...
This paper is about gate sizing under a statistical delay model. It shows we can solve the gate sizing problem exactly for a given statistical delay model. The formulation used al...
Conversations are a useful means of structuring communicative interactions among agents. The value of a conversation-based approach is largely determined by the conversational mod...
