The Windows Vista personal firewall provides its diverse users with a basic interface that hides many operational details. However, concealing the impact of network context on th...
Model checking by exhaustive state space enumeration is one of the most developed analysis methods for distributed event systems. Its main problem—the size of the state spaces—...
