This paper proposes a theoretical framework for verifying and deriving code optimizations for programs written in parallel programming languages. The key idea of this framework is...
We study the representation, derivation and utilization of a special kind of constraints in multidatabase systems. A major challenge is when component database schemas are schemat...
We address the problem of component reuse by describing a quotient operation. Starting from the specifications of the behaviors of the component and of the desired overall system,...
This paper discusses experiences and lessons learned from the design of an open hypermedia system, one that integrates applications and data not "owned" by the hypermedi...
Discovering faults in requirements specifications for distributed reactive systems is a challenging problem since many issues that need to be uncovered are a result of subtle compo...
