This paper argues that basing the semantics of concurrent systems on the notions of state and state transitions is neither advisable nor necessary. The tendency to do this is deepl...
Abstract We present a matrix-free line search algorithm for large-scale equality constrained optimization that allows for inexact step computations. For sufficiently convex problem...
While usability methods such as user studies and inspections can reveal a wide range of problems, they do so for only a subset of an application’s features and states. We presen...
This paper focuses on two problems related to QoS-aware I/O server placement in hierarchical Grid environments. Given a hierarchical network with requests from clients, the network...
Despite the major role that modularity occupies in computer science, all the known results on modular analysis only treat particular problems, and there is no general unifying the...
