Abstract. We propose new, tractably (in some cases provably) efficient algorithmic methods for exact (sound and complete) parameterized reasoning about cache coherence protocols. F...
We introduce the foundation of a system modeling environment targeted at capturing the anticipated interactions of hardware and software behaviors -- not just their co-execution. ...

Abstract. I develop a compositional theory of refinement for the branching time framework based on stuttering simulation and prove that if one system refines another, then a refine...
Power consumption is an important design parameter for embedded and portable systems. Software-controlled (or dynamic) power management (DPM) has recently emerged as an attractive...
