Embedded devices like smart cards can now run multiple interacting applications. A particular challenge in this domain is to dynamically integrate diverse security policies. In th...
Social laws have proved to be a powerful and theoretically elegant framework for coordination in multi-agent systems. Most existing models of social laws assume that a designer is...
In test generation based on model-checking, white-box test criteria are represented as trap conditions written in a temporal logic. A model checker is used to refute trap conditio...
We revisit the device-driver architecture supported by the majority of operating systems, where a driver is a passive object that does not have its own thread of control and is on...
— Embedded processors are required to achieve high performance while running on batteries. Thus, they must exploit all the possible means available to reduce energy consumption w...
