Abstract. Dynamic fault trees (DFTs) are a versatile and common formalism to model and analyze the reliability of computer-based systems. This paper presents a formal semantics of ...
The persistent programming systems of the 1980s offered a programming model that integrated computation and long-term storage. In these systems, reliable applications could be eng...

Emerging fast, non-volatile memories (e.g., phase change memories, spin-torque MRAMs, and the memristor) reduce storage access latencies by an order of magnitude compared to state...

Although they have been the main server technology for many years, multiprocessors are undergoing a renaissance due to multi-core chips and the attractive scalability properties of...
The Event-B method is a formal approach to modelling systems, using refinement. Initial specification is a high level of abstraction; detail is added in refinement steps as the de...
