Missing or faulty exception handling has caused a number of spectacular system failures and is a major cause of software failures in extensively tested critical systems. Prior wor...
— An important property of embedded systems is dependability. Today this addresses mostly safety and reliability. Guaranteeing these properties is normally done by adding redunda...
Survivability is the ability of a system to continue operating despite the presence of abnormal events such as failures and intrusions. Ensuring system survivability has increased...
This paper suggests formal frameworks that can be used as the basis for defining, reasoning about, and verifying properties of agent systems. The language, Little-JIL is graphical...
Microprocessor-based systems are increasingly used to control safety-critical systems (e.g., air and railway traffic control, nuclear plant control, aircraft and car control). In t...
