A large class of stochastic optimization problems can be modeled as minimizing an objective function f that depends on a choice of a vector x ∈ X, as well as on a random external...
—Temperature has a strong influence on integrated circuit (IC) performance, power consumption, and reliability. However, accurate thermal analysis can impose high computation co...
Ensuring the correctness of multithreaded programs is difficult, due to the potential for unexpected and nondeterministic interactions between threads. Previous work has addresse...
Separation Logic, Ambient Logic and Context Logic are based on a similar style of reasoning about structured data. They each consist of a structural (separating) composition for r...
Abstract. We propose a new operational model for shared variable concurrency, in the context of a concurrent, higher-order imperative language `a la ML. In our model the scheduling...
