— In this paper a new approach to optimize nuclear power plant designs based on global risk reduction are described. In design the focus is on as components quality as redundancy...
This paper presents a novel evolutionary approach to solve numerical optimization problems, called Adaptive Evolution (AEv). AEv is a new micro-population-like technique because i...
The Second Harmonic Generation (SHG), a process that turns out to be a good test case in the physics lab, can also be considered as a fairly simple theoretical test function for g...
This paper proposes an environment to address Testability Analysis and Test Pattern Generation on VHDL descriptions at the RT-level. The proposed approach, based on a suitable fau...
We present a formal framework for notions related to testing and model based test generation for a behavioural subset of UML Statecharts (UMLSCs). This framework builds, on one ha...
