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...
The continued scaling of device dimensions and the operating voltage reduces the critical charge and thus natural noise tolerance level of transistors. As a result, circuits can p...
Code duplication is an important problem in application maintenance. Tools exist that support code duplication detection. However, few of them propose a solution for the problem, ...
Sharing analysis and uniqueness typing are static analyses that aim at determining which of a program's objects are to be used at most once. There are many commonalities betw...
This paper addresses the problem of evaluating ranked top-? queries with expensive predicates. As major DBMSs now all support expensive user-defined predicates for Boolean queries...
