We present a new formal OO method, called FOX, which is a synergetic combination of the semi-formal Fusion method and the formal specification language Object-Z. To manage complex...
We define a simple collection of operations for creating and manipulating record structures, where records are intended as finite associations of values to labels. A second-order ...
In large-scale clusters and computational grids, component failures become norms instead of exceptions. Failure occurrence as well as its impact on system performance and operatio...
