Abstract. In this paper we present algorithms and tools for fast and efficient reachability analysis, applicable to continuous and hybrid systems. Most of the work on reachability ...
Abstract. We describe how the PVS verification system has been used to verify a safety property of a garbage collection algorithm, originally suggested by Ben-Ari. The safety prope...
Epidemic quorum systems enable highly available agreement even when a quorum is not simultaneously connected, and are therefore very interesting for mobile networks. Although rece...
Fair discrete systems (FDSs) are a computational model of concurrent programs where fairness assumptions are specified in terms of sets of states. The analysis of fair discrete sy...
Many bio-inspired algorithms (evolutionary algorithms, artificial immune systems, particle swarm optimisation, ant colony optimisation, …) are based on populations of agents. Ste...
